  "term": "Non-inferiority trial",
  "field": "Oncology and biomedicine",
  "definition": "A study that tests whether a new treatment is not worse than an active treatment it is being compared to.

These trials may show that a new treatment (such as a drug) is not worse than the active treatment being compared, and it may be safer and easier to take or cause fewer side effects.",
