Reference Datasets for TRRT|RTTR Replicate Designs

Description

Datasets from the public domain to be evaluated by method.A(), method.B(), or ABE().

Format

• Reference Dataset 05
  26 subjects.
  Balanced (13 subjects in both sequences) and complete. No outliers.
  A data frame with 104 observations on the following 5 variables:

  rds05

  subject	a factor with 26 levels: 1, 2, ..., 26
  period	a factor with 4 levels: 1, 2, 3, 4
  sequence	a factor with 2 levels: TRRT, RTTR
  treatment	a factor with 2 levels: T, R
  PK	a numeric vector of pharmacokinetic responses (here Cmax)

  In the source evaluated by SAS (Prox MIXED) with the FDA’s mixed effects model (termed ‘Method C’ by the EMA; not compatible with the guideline). Reported results:

  CVwR	5.47%
  CVwT	6.75%
  PE	107.90%
  90% CI	103.66% – 112.2%

• Reference Dataset 11
  37 subjects.
  Unbalanced (18 subjects in sequence TRRT and 19 subjects in RTTR) and complete. No outliers.
  A data frame with 148 observations on the following 5 variables

  rds11

  subject	a factor with 37 levels: 1, 2, ..., 37
  period	a factor with 4 levels: 1, 2, 3, 4
  sequence	a factor with 2 levels: TRRT, RTTR
  treatment	a factor with 2 levels: T, R
  PK	a numeric vector of pharmacokinetic responses (here Cmax)

  In the source evaluated by SAS (Proc MIXED) with the FDA’s mixed effects model (termed ‘Method C’ by the EMA; not compatible with the guideline). Reported results:

  PE	90.0%
  90% CI	79.6% – 101.7%

• Reference Dataset 16
  38 subjects.
  Unbalanced (18 subjects in sequence TRRT and 20 in RTTR) and complete. No outliers.
  A data frame with 152 observations on the following 5 variables:

  rds16

  subject	a factor with 38 levels: 1, 2, ..., 38
  period	a factor with 4 levels: 1, 2, 3, 4
  sequence	a factor with 2 levels: TRRT, RTTR
  treatment	a factor with 2 levels: T, R
  PK	a numeric vector of pharmacokinetic responses (here Cmax)

Details

Dataset	N	CVwR (%)	Evaluation
rds05	26	<30	method.A(), method.B(), ABE()
rds11	37	>30	method.A(), method.B()
rds16	38	>30	method.A(), method.B()

Note

In software sequences and treatments are ranked in lexical order. Hence, executing str() or summary() will show sequence as "RTTR", "TRRT" and treatment as "R", "T". In BE – by convention – sequences are ordered with T first. The package follows this convention.

Source

Dataset	Origin	Description
