This is a review of a grant proposal, so I have not yet done this study. Is there a way to simulate this and calculate the required sample sizes?

Both groups were randomized to placebo or treatment condition (so 15 individuals per condition). I compared both groups (irrespective of condition) at baseline and also investigated the treatment effect (follow-up) Would this be a sufficient sample size? I have a reviewer who is wondering this.... Any suggestions or tips are welcome! Thanks!
