Abstract:
Clinical trials in the development of new medical device products are in many ways analogous to clinical trials in the development of new drug or biologic products. However, the differences are important and not always intuitive to a statistician with only experience supporting development of drug and biologic products. In this paper we discuss some of the interesting differences with focus on the statistical innovation that is coming out of the medical device area. We discuss examples of the differences in clinical trial design and effects of these differences on clinical development programs.
