I am conducting a study in which I test two different treatments A and B. The outcome is binary (success, fail). We want to demonstrate if treatment B is non-inferior to A with a margin of the proportions of 5%. In our study, we obtained the following table:

Treatment Success Fail Total
Treat A 266 472 738
Treat B 232 435 667
Total 498 907 1405

Given these proportions, I obtained a p-value, given the article "Methods for Equivalence and Noninferiority Testing by Gisela Tunes da Silva, Brent R. Logan, John P. Klein" off 0.007 for the non-inferiority margin.

However, I needed to control for several variables and afterwards, I performed a propensity score matching, in which I obtained an OR of 0.9 [0.7;1.1]. The OR for the non-inferiority margin would be 0.59, and therefore I can reject the null hypothesis. I want to obtain a p-value, given this non-inferiority margin. Do you have any ideas on how to perform it? If it can be implemented in R that would be great.
