193. A critical situational clinical trial is planned to assess a new drug. The biostatistician notes that the proposed sample size is too small to detect a clinically meaningful difference. What is the urgency for intervention?

  • To proceed with the small sample size.
  • To urgently advise that an underpowered study is unethical and a waste of resources, as it has a high chance of missing a true effect (Type II error).
  • To only consider the cost of the trial.
  • To assume the drug will work anyway.
