Comments
Type of Statistical Test Non-Inferiority or Equivalence
Comments In order to establish noninferiority for the primary efficacy variable at one-sided α of 2.5% with 90% power, a total of 1068 patients, 534 per treatment group, is required. This calculation is based on the following assumptions: the noninferiority margin (or delta) = 1.5%, the common SD (standard deviation) of the percent change from baseline in lumbar spine BMD at Month 12 = 4.5%, the 1 year dropout rate = 20%, and the true mean difference μD - μM = 0.5%.

Statistical Analysis Overview Comparison Group Selection 5 mg Risedronate, 150 mg Risedronate
Comments The sample size of 1068 patients will provide approximately 90% power to demonstrate the noninferiority of the monthly regimen at month 24, using a 2% noninferiority margin and assuming a common SD of the percent change from baseline in lumbar spine BMD at month 24 of 5%, a 2-year dropout rate of 30%, and a true mean difference (uDaily-uMonthly) of 0.8%.
Type of Statistical Test Non-Inferiority or Equivalence
Comments The estimates of the common SD, dropout rate at month 24 and true difference are also based on previous risedronate Phase III studies (RVN008993, RVE009093, ROE009394, HMR4003E/3001).
