A $3{\times}2$ crossover design is considered for the bioequivalence of two test formulations with a control. It could be considered as a better choice over $3{\times}3$ crossover design because of the cost and experimental duration. Oh et al.(1998) derived $3{\times}2$ crossover design and discussed its benefits over the typical crossover designs. We consider here the statistical models for $3{\times}2$ crossover design and show its statistical properties. The statistical procedures for the bioequivalence in $3{\times}2$ crossover design are shown through an example and the results are summarized by satisfying the 3 standards that proposed by the Korea Food and Drug Administration Guidelines for Bioequivalence.

Oh et al.(1999) 3$\times$2 crossover design for assessing bioequivalence when two new generic drug formulations and innovator are simultaneously considered. This design is not only more efficient than 3$\times$3 one, proposed by Lee et al.(1998), in practical sense, but also more ethical in medical sense. However, the general statistical methods are not directly applicable to both designs when subjects are dropped out in the experiment, even though it is always possible in bioavailability and bioequivalence studies because of some administrative and economic reasons. In this research we propose an inference to drug effects when subjects are dropped out in the planed-for 3$\times$3 and 3$\times$2 crossover experiments. An example is given for illustration.

Statistical interpretations in a bioequivalence trial are considered and studied when the missing observations occurred in $2\;{\times}\;2$ crossover experiment. Patel (1985) suggested the approximate test procedures for carryover effect and drug effect in $2\;{\times}\;2$ crossover design when some of data are missing in the second period. A modified Patel method is newly proposed to the bioequivalence trial and it is compared with the current method through the simulation study.

A modified Anderson and Hauck(1983) test for analyzing a two-sequence two-period crossover design in bioequivalence trials is proposed when some observations at the second period are missing. It is based on the maximum likelihood estimators of average bioequivalence model and designed for handling missing at random(MAR) situation. The performance of the proposed test is compared to other tests using Monte Carlo simulations.
