What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps determine if a "negative" clinical trial was truly negative or if it was underpowered, potentially hiding a real treatment effect.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Reverse Power Calculation: Calculates the minimum detectable effect size for a given trial's sample size and alpha.
  • Post-Hoc Power Analysis: Assesses the power of the trial to detect the observed effect size (with caveats).
  • Confidence Interval Analysis: Critically evaluates if the CI includes clinically meaningful differences or the null.
  • Confirmatory Trial Planning: Estimates the required sample size for a future trial based on observed (and shrunk) effect sizes.
  • Use Case: A competitor's drug failed in Phase 2, with a p-value of 0.08. Use this Skill to analyze if the trial was truly underpowered and if a larger Phase 3 trial is warranted, or if the drug likely doesn't work.

Quick Start

Analyze the provided trial data to determine if it was underpowered and assess the need for a confirmatory trial.
