Dear D. Labes,

welcome back from Salzburg!

❝ What exactly You mean with "evaluated as a paired design"?


Well, with the proposed design one avoids confounding issues, but you are right that one must assume lacking period effects!
This may sound weird in the first place, but is regularily used in designs where a single dose phase is followed by a steady state phase in order to assess accumulation: AUCtau (MD) vs. AUCinf (SD). In my experience nobody sets up the study in such a way that in ½ of the subjects the study is started with the multiple dose phase first. Any potential period effects in such a design are ignored as well.
