An experimental result, such as those derived from a clinical or non-clinical study is statistically significant if it is unlikely to have occurred by chance. The statistical significance of experimental results is determined by a widely used statistical method that establishes the p-value of the results, which is a statistical measure of the probability that the difference in results between treatment and control groups in a study could have occurred by chance. Under this method, the smaller the p-value, the greater the confidence that the results are significant, and a p-value of less than .05, reflecting a less than one-in-twenty probability that the result occurred by chance, is generally considered by the FDA to represent statistical significance.
