Good day to all,

Another return to post hoc power analysis to raise Helmut's blood pressure. Ha!

Is post hoc power analysis also useless for therapeutic equivalence trials (non-inferiority, two arm, active-controlled, parallel group) intended to demonstrate the IOP-lowering efficacy of a generic anti-glaucoma medication versus the originator?

My first thought is that, yeah, it's the same principle as with standard bioequivalence, but since the confidence intervals are measured in mm Hg, I become uncertain as a non-statistician.

Questions are being raised that the sample size may have been inadequate.

Any comment by anyone is appreciated and thank you in advance.
