Abstract:

In designing and analyzing non-inferiority trials, the choice of a non-inferiority margin always plays an important role in affecting trial characteristics. With little tool in use, such choice many times falls on the sample size determination and introduces many biases and difficulties in interpreting trial results. In this talk, using elicitation to systematically obtain a proper non-inferiority margin to help facilitate communication is discussed.
