A Full Analysis Set (FAS) is an intention-to-treat analysis set that is as complete and as close as possible to the ideal of including all randomized clinical trial subjects.
- Example(s):
- a set of "all patients randomly assigned to a treatment group having at least one efficacy assessment after randomisation". (In: IMUTI, 2012)

CPMP guideline states that in a noninferiority trial, the full analysis set based on the ITT principle and the PP analysis set have equal importance and their use should lead to similar conclusions for a robust interpretation.

- QUOTE: In this document the term 'full analysis set' is used to describe the analysis set which is as complete as possible and as close as possible to the intention-to-treat ideal of including all randomised subjects. Preservation of the initial randomisation in analysis is important in preventing bias and in providing a secure foundation for statistical tests. In many clinical trials the use of the full analysis set provides a conservative strategy. Under many circumstances it may also provide estimates of treatment effects which are more likely to mirror those observed in subsequent practice.
