Statistical review of animal trials—A guideline

Abstract: Any experiment involving living organisms requires justification of the need and moral defensibleness of the study. Statistical planning, design, and sample size calculation of the experiment are no less important review criteria than general medical and ethical points to consider. Errors made in the statistical planning and data evaluation phase can have severe consequences on both results and conclusions. They might proliferate and thus impact future trials-an unintended outcome of fundamental research with … Show more

“…Of course, for confirmatory trials (e.g., the proof PDT works in atherosclerosis) it is needed to collect more robust evidence [42]. Furthermore, we aim to respect the 3R's principle of animal experiments: Replacement, Reduction, Refinement [43]. In this perspective one rabbit to serve as control is justified.…”

“…37,38 Last, laboratory animal investigations should use adequate sample sizes and rigorous statistical methods, designs resembling those used routinely for clinical research to avoid type 1 and type 2 errors. 119,120 What We can learn from the Disconnect between preclinical results and Major trial evidence Preclinical research involves experiments on cells, tissues, animals, and other biologic materials and seeks to better understand diseases' biologic mechanisms and develop potential therapies. Disciplines include molecular biology, pharmacology, toxicology, and animal behavioral sciences.…”

“…Hence, our SCO platform potentially facilitates a reduction in animal use, which saves scientists a tremendous amount of time for ethical review and defense and reduces numerous research grants for purchasing or generating animal models. Furthermore, our lab-built SCO platform makes our experiment more humanitarian and environmentalfriendly, which fits The Three Rs principle (Replace, Reduce, and Refine), aiming to make it more effective and humane 32 .…”

“…Furthermore, TET2 deficiency worsens cardiac remodeling and function in mouse models of chronic ischemia and pressure overload hypertrophy 11,24 . However, using animal models for CHIP study not only costs scientists a tremendous amount of time for ethical review and defense, as well as countless research funding for purchasing or generating models but also goes against The Three Rs principle (Replace, Reduce, and Refine) aiming to make scientific research a more effective and humane process 32 .…”
