Technical consultation on determining non-inferiority of vector control products within an established class

Overview

This meeting report describes the discussion and outcomes of the technical consultation on the value of non-inferiority assessments within the vector control evaluation process, for interventions that fall within an established intervention class. The discussion was based on pilot trials assessing non-inferiority of pyrethroid-PBO nets against malaria. The objectives of the meeting included determining the value and challenges associated with using non-inferiority assessments, and considerations on how these evaluations could be implemented within the existing framework of the WHO vector control evaluation process.
