Análisis crítico de un ensayo clínico de no-inferioridad / Critical analysis of a noninferiority trial

ABSTRACT

In the era of diseases with highly efficacious treatments, the publication of randomized noninferiority clinical trials is increasingly frequent. However, users of medical literature are less familiar with this type of studies. The aim of this article is to give an introduction to the critical assessment of noninferiority clinical trials, through the solving of a therapeutic dilemma, which will be addressed through the analysis of a recently published trial of this type.
