A Workflow for Evaluating Regional Treatment Effect Heterogeneity in Multi-Regional Clinical Trials
多区域临床试验中区域处理效应异质性的评估流程
Multi-regional clinical trials (MRCTs) enable efficient global drug development by assessing treatment effects across regions within a single protocol. While powered for overall efficacy, MRCTs are typically not designed to provide confirmatory evidence on regional differences, making an assessment of observed regional heterogeneity largely exploratory and susceptible to sampling variability. Despite this challenge, understanding regional heterogeneity remains important for…
