Abstract:

Non-inferiority trials are not simply underpowered superiority trials. In general, non-inferiority trials are more challenging to design, conduct and interpret. This talk will address some of the practical issues with non-inferiority trials such as selection of non-inferiority margin, sample size, significance level, testing for both superiority and non-inferiority, and data quality among others. Some specific examples of non-inferiority device trials will also be presented.
