Abstract:

The process of establishing a new medical device as safe and effective enough to be approved by FDA for marketing purposes may require somewhat different design and analysis approaches than would a simple head-to-head comparison of two already-approved treatments. From sample size considerations to interim analysis to interpretation of results, clinical and ethical concerns influence the study design, implementation, and analysis. This roundtable discussion is intended to provide examples and compare competing approaches.
