✦ Synopsis

In repeated measures bioavailability/bioequivalence studies involving two formulations, the underlying measurements, such as the area under the plasma concentration-time curve (AUC) and the maximum plasma concentration ( C), typically have a block compound-symmetric covariance matrix. To test the equality of the variances in such a covariance matrix, we derive in this paper an exact test and four asymptotic tests. We compare these tests using simulation to determine those that have good performance in terms of controlling the type I error rate as well as providing good power. We provide an example to demonstrate the proposed method.

The summary measures approach to analysing repeated measures is described. The circumstances under which it can be advantageous to use such measures are considered. Strategies for baseline adjustment where there are multiple baselines are examined, as is the choice of appropriate summary statistic.

Simple formulae have been derived for the accurate computation of sample sizes when the two-sample t-test is used. Required sample sizes may be reduced by taking repeated measures, especially if correlations are about equal. In a trial with two parallel groups, repeated measures may be summarized by
