Do You Have a NonINFERIORITY (Trial) Complex?

NOTE: This session is part of the Live Intensive Studies and Clinical Sessions packages. All attendees may attend these thought-provoking and highly educational sessions. However, if you are board-certified, you must purchase the package(s) for your specialty to receive the recertification assessment and claim the recertification credit.

As noninferiority trials are becoming more mainstream in all therapeutic areas, practitioners who do not fully understand this research design methodology when making clinical decisions put patients at risk for suboptimal outcomes. Through the use of humor and storytelling, this session will bridge the knowledge gap for attendees by providing information on noninferiority trial methodology and interpretation, the limitations of noninferiority trials, and the utility of this study design for assessing the efficacy of new medications. Attendees will reflect on their current practice and build confidence with these concepts when critically evaluating a noninferiority trial and assessing opportunities for changes in their clinical practice based on their interpretation of trial results.

This activity is approved for Board-Certified Pharmacotherapy Specialist (BCPS) recertification credit.
