摘要
This paper reviews issues related to defining and demonstrating therapeutic equivalence. A set of guidelines are proposed to critically review clinical trials to determine whether there is sufficient evidence to conclude that an experimental therapy is therapeutically equivalent to a standard one. These guidelines include criteria for assessing whether imprecision pertaining to the measurement of outcomes impinges on the validity of an equivalence test.
