A team of dermatological researchers is investigating a novel topical gene therapy for severe atopic dermatitis in a randomized, double-blind, vehicle-controlled clinical trial. The study is appropriately powered at () to evaluate the primary endpoint, which is the mean change in the Eczema Area and Severity Index (EASI) score at 12 weeks.
During the design phase, the investigators pre-specify the analysis of distinct and independent secondary outcomes, including various serological cytokine levels, epidermal barrier function metrics, and sleep disruption indices. The researchers aim to maintain the overall study-wide probability of committing a Type I error at exactly () across the analysis of these secondary outcomes. To counteract the problem of multiple comparisons, the biostatistician applies a Bonferroni correction to adjust the significance level.
Based on this statistical design, what specific -value threshold must a single secondary outcome achieve to be considered statistically significant? (Express the answer as a precise decimal).
