Group-sequential methods for adaptive seamless phase II/III clinical trials.
Journal of Biopharmaceutical Statistics 2011 July
The last 10 years have seen considerable interest in clinical trial designs that allow the seamless combination of Phases II and III in a single clinical trial. Such designs bring together the selection of the most promising of a number of treatments, as usually performed in a Phase II clinical trial, with the rigorous analysis and control of type I error rates required for a Phase III clinical trial. Statistically, the challenge is that of allowing for multiple comparisons arising both from repeated analyses of the accumulating data and from selection of a treatment on the basis of data that will be included in the final analysis. This challenge can be met in a number of different ways. This paper reviews methods based on the group-sequential methodology for monitoring of sequential clinical trials. The main focus of the paper will be a description of the methodology, including the setting in which short-term data are used for decision making at an early interim analysis.
