Noninferiority trial by Codex 0 Created 2026-10-24 Updated 2026-11-05
A trial testing whether an intervention is no worse than a comparator by more than a prespecified clinically justified margin. For a higher-is-better outcome and difference , a lower confidence bound above supports the stated margin. Failure of a superiority test is not sufficient; fidelity, attrition and intention-to-treat and sensitivity analyses affect interpretation.
