Long-Term Safety Evaluations in the Presence of Switching: Evaluation of Two Approaches [0.03%]
切换情况下长期安全性评估：两种方法的评价
Sandra Schmeller,Rima Izem,Pedro Lopez Romero et al.
Sandra Schmeller et al.
Evaluating the long-term safety of approved drugs for chronic indications is essential. This assessment ensures that the benefits continue to outweigh the risks beyond the follow-up observed in the clinical trials supporting market authoriz...
Adjustment for Inconsistency in Adaptive Phase 2/3 Designs With Dose Optimization [0.03%]
自适应二期/三期设计中剂量优化的不一致性调整
Cong Chen,Mo Huang,Xuekui Zhang
Cong Chen
Adaptive Phase 2/3 designs hold great promise in contemporary oncology drug development, especially when limited data from Phase 1 dose-finding is insufficient for identifying an optimal dose. However, inconsistent results between Phase 2 a...
Prediction Intervals for Overdispersed Binomial Endpoints and Their Application to Toxicological Historical Control Data [0.03%]
过分散二项分布终点的预测区间及其在毒理学历史对照数据中的应用
Max Menssen,Jonathan Rathjens
Max Menssen
For toxicology studies, the validation of the concurrent control group by historical control data (HCD) has become requirements. This validation is usually done by historical control limits (HCL), which should cover the observations of the ...
Finding the Optimal Number of Splits and Repetitions in Double Cross-Fitting Targeted Maximum Likelihood Estimators [0.03%]
寻找双交叉拟合靶向最大似然估计器的最佳分割次数和重复次数

Mohammad Ehsanul Karim
Flexible machine learning algorithms are increasingly utilized in real-world data analyses. When integrated within double robust methods, such as the Targeted Maximum Likelihood Estimator (TMLE), complex estimators can result in significant...
Comparing Estimation Methods for the Area Under the Bi-Weibull ROC Curve [0.03%]
双威布尔斯ROC曲线下的面积估计方法的比较
Ruhul Ali Khan,Musie Ghebremichael
Ruhul Ali Khan
In this paper, we carried out extensive simulation studies to compare the performances of partial and maximum likelihood based methods for estimating the area under the bi-Weibull ROC curve. Further, real data sets from HIV/AIDS research we...

Design Considerations for a Phase II Platform Trial in Major Depressive Disorder [0.03%]
抑郁症二期平台试验的设计考量
Michaela Maria Freitag,Dario Zocholl,Elias Laurin Meyer et al.
Michaela Maria Freitag et al.
Major depressive disorder (MDD) is one of the leading causes of disability globally. Despite its prevalence, approximately one-third of patients do not benefit sufficiently from available treatments, and few new drugs have been developed re...
The Estimand Framework and Causal Inference: Complementary Not Competing Paradigms [0.03%]
估算法与因果推断：互补而非竞争的两种范式
Thomas Drury,Jonathan W Bartlett,David Wright et al.
Thomas Drury et al.
The creation of the ICH E9 (R1) estimands framework has led to more precise specification of the treatment effects of interest in the design and statistical analysis of clinical trials. However, it is unclear how the new framework relates t...
Drift Parameter Based Sample Size Determination in Multi-Stage Bayesian Randomized Clinical Trials [0.03%]
基于漂移参数的多阶段贝叶斯随机临床试验样本量确定方法
Yueyang Han,Haolun Shi,Jiguo Cao et al.
Yueyang Han et al.
Sample size determination in Bayesian randomized phase II trial design often relies on computationally intensive search methods, presenting challenges in terms of feasibility and efficiency. We propose a novel approach that greatly reduces ...
The Wilcoxon-Mann-Whitney Estimand Versus Differences in Medians or Means [0.03%]
威尔科克森-曼恩-惠特尼指标与中位数或均值的差异之间的关系
Linda J Harrison,Ronald J Bosch
Linda J Harrison
There is a renewed interest in defining the target of estimation when designing randomized trials. Motivated by design work in trials of HIV-1 curative interventions, we compare the Wilcoxon-Mann-Whitney (WMW) estimand to a difference in me...
