Design and Analysis of Crossover Study Designs Bhargava Kandala Department of Pharmaceutics College of Pharmacy , UF
Crossover Study • Treatments administered in a sequence to each experimental unit over a set of time periods. • Comparison of treatments on a within-subject level. • Increased precision of treatment comparisons. • A treatment given in one period might influence the response in the following treatment period – residual/carryover effect • Baseline values – Can be included as covariates to increase the precision

procglmdata = allperiodanaly; class sequence subject period trt; model fenoav = sequence subject(sequence) period trt/solution; random subject(sequence); run;
procmixeddata = allperiodanaly; class sequence subject period trt; model fenoav = sequence period trt; random subject(sequence); lsmeans trt/ pdiff cl; run;
Baseline - Covariate • Average baseline values not significantly different • Presence of significant carryover effects (p-value < 0.05)
* Covariates tested for carryover; procmixeddata = allperiodanaly; class sequence subject period trt; modelfenoav = sequence period fenobtrt carry1 carry2; random subject(sequence); lsmeanstrt/ pdiffcle; run;
Results • β cannot be forced to be 1
Results • Reduced impact of the baseline values while using ANCOVA can explain the absence of carryover effects
Conclusions • Day 5 data suitable for analysis • Maximum dose resolution • No carryover effect • Baseline adjustment • Simple difference increases the variability and introduces carryover effects • ANCOVA is the preferred method • Crossover design model with baseline values as covariates will be used for future simulations
