Understanding S-TEMAN in Clinical Trials

S-TEMAN is a concept that ensures trials calculate numbers that represent a clear understanding of what they aim to estimate. In clinical trials focused on continuous outcomes like symptoms, the intended estimate and the calculated number can differ significantly. S-TEMAN serves as a disciplined approach to align study calculations with the actual targeted value in the population, offering a roadmap for precise interpretation of trial results.
