Group sequential design for randomized trials using “first hitting time” model
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2022 at "Statistics in Medicine"
DOI: 10.1002/sim.9360
Abstract: Group sequential design (GSD) has become a popular choice in recent clinical trials as it improves trial efficiency by providing options for early termination. The implementation of traditional tests for survival analysis (eg, the log‐rank… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/sim.9580
Abstract: The primary analysis in two‐arm clinical trials usually involves inference on a scalar treatment effect parameter; for example, depending on the outcome, the difference of treatment‐specific means, risk difference, risk ratio, or odds ratio. Most… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/sim.9682
Abstract: A multi‐arm trial allows simultaneous comparison of multiple experimental treatments with a common control and provides a substantial efficiency advantage compared to the traditional randomized controlled trial. Many novel multi‐arm multi‐stage (MAMS) clinical trial designs… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.cct.2022.106742
Abstract: In targeted therapy or immunotherapy, it is common that only a subpopulation of patients are sensitive to and thus may benefit from the therapy. In practice, based on pre-clinical data, it is often assumed that… read more here.
