Designing, Monitoring, and Analyzing Group Sequential Clinical Trials Using the RCTdesign Package for R
The use of group sequential methodology has become widespread in the conduct of clinic trials. As each clinical trial presents unique scientific, statistical and logistical constraints, it is important to carefully evaluate candidate group sequential designs to ensure desirable operating characteristics. At the implementation stage of a clinical trial design it is also essential to account for ...
متن کاملSequential Multiple Assignment Randomized Trials: An Opportunity for Improved Design of Stroke Reperfusion Trials.
BACKGROUND Modern clinical trials in stroke reperfusion fall into 2 categories: alternative systemic pharmacological regimens to alteplase and "rescue" endovascular approaches using targeted thrombectomy devices and/or medications delivered directly for persistently occluded vessels. Clinical trials in stroke have not evaluated how initial pharmacological thrombolytic management might influence...
متن کاملDesigning a pilot sequential multiple assignment randomized trial for developing an adaptive treatment strategy.
There is growing interest in how best to adapt and readapt treatments to individuals to maximize clinical benefit. In response, adaptive treatment strategies (ATS), which operationalize adaptive, sequential clinical decision making, have been developed. From a patient's perspective an ATS is a sequence of treatments, each individualized to the patient's evolving health status. From a clinician'...
متن کاملAn R package for analyzing and modeling ranking data
BACKGROUND In medical informatics, psychology, market research and many other fields, researchers often need to analyze and model ranking data. However, there is no statistical software that provides tools for the comprehensive analysis of ranking data. Here, we present pmr, an R package for analyzing and modeling ranking data with a bundle of tools. The pmr package enables descriptive statisti...
متن کاملInference for the median residual life function in sequential multiple assignment randomized trials.
In survival analysis, median residual lifetime is often used as a summary measure to assess treatment effectiveness; it is not clear, however, how such a quantity could be estimated for a given dynamic treatment regimen using data from sequential randomized clinical trials. We propose a method to estimate a dynamic treatment regimen-specific median residual life (MERL) function from sequential ...
