Treatment selection in multi-arm, multi-stage clinical trials
Adaptive designs that are based on group-sequential approaches have the benefit of being efficient as stopping boundaries can be found that lead to good operating characteristics with test decisions based solely on sufficient statistics. The drawback of these so called “pre-planned adaptive” designs is that unexpected design changes are not possible without impacting the error rates. “Flexible ...
متن کاملOptimal design for multi-arm multi-stage clinical trials
In early stages of drug development there is often uncertainty about the most promising among a set of different treatments. In order to ensure the best use of resources it is important to decide which, if any, of the treatments should be taken forward for further testing. Multi-arm multi-stage (MAMS) trials provide gains in efficiency over separate randomised trials of each treatment. They all...
متن کاملAn Uniformly Minimum Variance Unbiased Point Estimator Using Fuzzy Observations
This paper proposes a new method for uniformly minimum variance unbiased fuzzy point estimation. For this purpose we make use of a uniformly minimum variance unbiased estimator and we develop this new method for a fuzzy random sample X̃1, . . . , X̃n is induced by X1, . . . , Xn on the same probability space. Zusammenfassung: In diesem Aufsatz schlagen wir eine neue Methode vor, um einen unverzer...
متن کاملDifferential Privacy and Minimum-Variance Unbiased Estimation in Multi-Agent Control Systems
In a discrete-time linear multi-agent control system, where the agents are coupled via an environmental state, knowledge of the environmental state is desirable to control the agents locally. However, since the environmental state depends on the behavior of the agents, sharing it directly among these agents jeopardizes the privacy of the agents’ profiles, defined as the combination of the agent...
متن کاملSome recommendations for multi-arm multi-stage trials
Multi-arm multi-stage designs can improve the efficiency of the drug-development process by evaluating multiple experimental arms against a common control within one trial. This reduces the number of patients required compared to a series of trials testing each experimental arm separately against control. By allowing for multiple stages experimental treatments can be eliminated early from the s...
