Alternative methods to a frequentist approach, such as Bayesian, may be superior in certain situations; particularly, when analyzing trial data to support approvals in small populations. Regulators are increasingly considering novel methods.
Learning Objective : Examine global considerations for leveraging Bayesian approaches in pivotal trials to support marketing authorization; Debate the situations and circumstances where the Bayesian approach may be the most appropriate method of analysis; Discuss health authority considerations that could facilitate the use of alternative analytical methods beyond the frequentist approach; Identify ways to bridge existing gaps in applying Bayesian methods in clinical research.
