Rgarding experimental studies, in a randomized controlled trial (RCT) all are true, EXCEPT:
In randomized controlled trial, some losses to follow-up are inevitable due to factors, such as death, migration and loss of interest. This is known as attrition. If the attrition is substantial, it may be difficult to generalize the results of the study to the reference population. Every effo, therefore should be made to minimize the losses to follow-up.

Baseline characteristics are comparable
Bias can be eliminated by double blinding
Sample size depends on the type of study
Dropouts are excluded from the study
