Abstract:

The FDA non-inferiority draft guidance lays out a fundamental framework for design consideration in planning a non-inferiority trial or more broadly an active control trial. A key design specification in that framework is non-inferiority margin. The guidance contains a number of case examples showing margin determination under different scenarios. The statistical literature contains a number of methods for determining the margin. This presentation will shed some insights into the essential considerations behind these methods. A new method will be introduced for discussion.
