The initial pilot clinical service formulation (CSF) was developed as a monohydrate salt with dry blend formulation and was used in two early phase 1 studies.
Following the formulation and pilot testing of the Guttman scale items, this new instrument was administered to 528 participants at the same time of the CICS item administration, see Additional file 1: Table S1 for the seven EBIP adoption scale items.
To validate the questionnaire the research team and head nurses participated in the formulation, and pilot tests were conducted.
A diagnostic analysis on the slurry formulation further identified pilot test(s) and the interpretation of the test(s) as key elements to ensuring integrity of cementing operation.
We performed a pilot evaluation of a new formulation of levonorgestrel butanoate (LB) designed to be a long-acting injectable (6 months) contraceptive to determine pharmacodynamic end points in normal-body mass index (BMI) and obese women.
Especially for the latter, it turns out to be very hard to give an analytical formulation for a general pilot structure.
The purpose of a pilot trial is to screen test formulations, and hence small sample sizes can be used.
