New Tests for Assessing Non-Inferiority and Equivalence from Survival Data
We propose a new nonparametric method for assessing non-inferiority of an experimental therapy compared to a standard of care. The ratio E R of true median survival times is the parameter of interest. This is of considerable interest in clinical trials of generic drugs. We think of the ratio E R m m of the sample medians as a point estimate of the ratio E R . We use the Fieller-Hinkley ...
متن کاملMethodological standards in non-inferiority AIDS trials: moving from adherence to compliance
BACKGROUND The interpretation of the results of active-control trials regarding the efficacy and safety of a new drug is important for drug registration and following clinical use. It has been suggested that non-inferiority and equivalence studies are not reported with the same quantitative rigor as superiority studies. METHODS Standard methodological criteria for non-inferiority and equivale...
متن کاملNon-inferiority trials: determining whether alternative treatments are good enough.
New treatments that are potentially as effective as existing treatments are increasingly being developed, some of which may be preferred because of lower cost, fewer side effects, easier administration or less harm. Non-inferiority trials attempt to establish whether or not a new treatment -- drug or non-drug -- is no worse than an established treatment for which efficacy has been determined in...
متن کاملQuality of reporting of clinical non-inferiority and equivalence randomised trials - update and extension
BACKGROUND Non-inferiority and equivalence trials require tailored methodology and therefore adequate conduct and reporting is an ambitious task. The aim of our review was to assess whether the criteria recommended by the CONSORT extension were followed. METHODS We searched the Medline database and the Cochrane Central Register for reports of randomised non-inferiority and equivalence trials ...
متن کاملWhat's new in trial design: propensity scores, equivalence, and non-inferiority.
Recent modifications to traditional clinical research designs include propensity scores, equivalence, and non-inferiority trials, as well as greater use of pooled endpoints for primary outcome measures. Each of these innovations offers benefits, but they have been misused. Propensity score techniques can account for imbalance in treatment group allocation to provide more accurate estimates of b...
