Quality of reporting of noninferiority and equivalence randomized trials.
CONTEXT Noninferiority and equivalence trials aim to show that the experimental treatment is not clinically worse than (noninferior) or clinically similar to (equivalent) a control active treatment. These study objectives imply particular planning and analysis. OBJECTIVE To assess the methodologic quality of reports of randomized controlled trials of noninferiority and equivalence. DESIGN W...
متن کاملEquivalence and noninferiority testing in regression models and repeated-measures designs.
Equivalence and noninferiority designs are useful when the superiority of one intervention over another is neither expected nor required. Equivalence trials test whether a difference between groups falls within a prespecified equivalence region, whereas noninferiority trials test whether a preferred intervention is either better or at least not worse than the comparator, with worse being define...
متن کاملMore powerful exact noninferiority and equivalence tests based on binary matched pairs
Assessing the therapeutic noninferiority or equivalence of one medical treatment compared to another is often based on the difference of response rates from a matched binary pairs design. This paper develops new exact unconditional tests for noninferiority and equivalence that are more powerful than available alternatives. There are three new elements presented in this paper. First we introduce...
متن کاملPlanned equivalence or noninferiority trials versus unplanned noninferiority claims: are they equal?
There are many reasons why equivalence or noninferiority trials are being planned. Clinical trials in cancer often have several measures of outcome, such as survival, progression, treatment toxicity, and quality of life. It is rare that the same treatment is superior for all outcomes. Therefore, benefits and risks need to be balanced against one another. A small loss in survival may be acceptab...
متن کاملReporting of noninferiority and equivalence randomized trials: an extension of the CONSORT statement.
The CONSORT (Consolidated Standards of Reporting Trials) Statement, including a checklist and a flow diagram, was developed to help authors improve their reporting of randomized controlled trials. Its primary focus was on individually randomized trials with 2 parallel groups that assess the possible superiority of one treatment compared with another but is now being extended to other trial desi...
