Sample size for replicate crossover studies [Power / Sample Size]

Hi,

For sample size calculation in the case of full replicate design using R software, when specifying the 2x2x4 in the script, do we get the same sample size whether the design is to be : TRTR|RTRT or TRRT|RTTR. And same question for the partially replicated design TRT|RTR vs TRR|RTT.

In the same way for manual computation, can we use the sample size formula presented by CHOW for the TRRT|RTTR design to calculate the sample size for TRTR|RTRT design. And same question, could the sample size formula of TRR|RTT design be used for TRT|RTR design.

Thanks a lot.

	HI Imph! The sample size would remain same because it is mainly driven by variability, desired power and ratio. Regards, Divyen

Hi Imph,

❝ For sample size calculation in the case of full replicate design using R software, when specifying the 2x2x4 in the script, do we get the same sample size whether the design is to be : TRTR|RTRT or TRRT|RTTR.

Yes. See there for the covered designs.

❝ And same question for the partially replicated design TRT|RTR vs TRR|RTT.

These are 3-period full replicate designs. See there for partial replicates.

❝ In the same way for manual computation, can we use the sample size formula presented by CHOW for the TRRT|RTTR design to calculate the sample size for TRTR|RTRT design. And same question, could the sample size formula of TRR|RTT design be used for TRT|RTR design.

Why are you still referring to Chow’s approximations full of typos? At least when you deal with reference-scaling you need simulations anyway. A formula does not – and cannot! – exist.

	Hi, ❝ Why are you still referring to Chow’s approximations full of typos? At least when you deal with reference-scaling you need simulations anyway. A formula does not – and cannot! – exist. I've been asked in my compagny to provide sample size formula for TRTR \| RTRT and TRT \| RTR designs. Thank you all.
