We investigate selection of critical boundary functions for testing the hypotheses of two time-to-event outcomes as both primary endpoints or a primary and a secondary endpoint in group-sequential clinical trials, where (1) the effect sizes of endpoints are unequal, or (2) one endpoint is for short-term evaluation and the other for long-term evaluation. Bonferroni-Holm and fixed-sequence procedures are considered. We assess the effects of the magnitudes of the hazard ratios and the correlation between the endpoints on statistical powers and provide guidance for consideration.
