Non Inferiority Trials • Purpose is to rule out a prespecified margin of inferiority between ESA and control • In trials with ESAs in cancer pts specifically designed to look for safety signals, non-inferiority design preferable over superiority design Prespecified Margin Inferior Non-inferior 1.0 Worse for Control Worse for ESA Hazard Ratio
Studies Initiated by Amgen or J&J Epoetin alfa Studies ODAC 2004 EPO-ANE-3010 (J&J PMC; Breast) N93-004 (PMC; SCLC) Other Studies Aranesp Studies
Completed studies w/summary results + no reported safety signal • 5 epoetin alfa studies have been completed, and have had summary results submitted to FDA either by a J&J report or by literature publication, and have not reported safety signals • Both FDA and J&J have not analyzed data from these trials • Study Limitations • 3 of the 5 studies have inadequate design to address risk of tumor promotion
Completed studies w/summary results + no reported safety signal Epoetin alfa Studies ODAC 2004 Other Studies Aranesp Studies
Meta-Analysis results • Amgen meta analysis used Peto odds ratio, which: • Is based solely on the # of known deaths and total # of pts in each arm • Does not consider pt follow-up and survival times • Is not interpretable since study patients do not have the same study start day
