Title: | Adjusting pairwise nonparametric equivalence hypothesis tests and confidence intervals for period effects in 3x3 crossover trials | Authors: | DUCHATEAU, Luc JANSSEN, Paul STRAETEMANS, Roel Otoul, Christian |
Issue Date: | 2002 | Source: | Journal of Biopharmaceutical Statistics, 12(2). p. 149-160 | Abstract: | In pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic 3x3 crossover trials, average bioequivalence and noninferiority between treatments need to be only assessed pairwise in most cases. Due to the restricted number of subjects in such trials, normal distribution assumptions cannot be checked and frequently outliers are encountered, so that a nonparametric approach is more adequate. Therefore, to assess average bioequivalence or noninferiority, a new method is proposed to derive period adjusted nonparametric confidence intervals for pairwise treatment differences. | Keywords: | 3x3 crossover trial; pairwise comparisons; equivalence hypotheses; noninferiority hypothesis; Hodges-Lehmann confidence interval | Document URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/1942/225 | Category: | A2 | Type: | Journal Contribution |
