Power and Sample Size Calculations for Primary Open Angle Glaucoma / Ocular Hypertension Clinical Trials Accounting for Correlation of Measures among the Time Points across Visits

ARVO Annual Meeting, May 2014

Historically, the correlation among time points within a subject/eye has not been overtly accounted for when determining power and sample size for clinical trials in primary open angle glaucoma/ocular hypertension. This poster details:

  • The importance of accounting for the correlation of measures among time points 
  • How the number of time points and correlation among time points affect power and sample size
  • How these variables affect Type I Error (the probability of rejecting the null hypothesis and concluding non-inferiority, when the null hypothesis is true; also known as alpha)
