Abstract:
|
For a clinical trial with long-term outcome as its primary endpoint, it is difficult to use outcome-adaptive randomization in this trial. In practice, often information about a short-term response is quickly available during or shortly after treatment, and this short-term response is a good predictor for the primary outcome. We propose a new adaptive design for phase II clinical trials when such short-term response information is available. We model the relationship between short-term and long-term results with all available information, including some patients who have both short-term and long-term results and some patients who have only short-term results. We use the short-term information to "speed up" the adaptation of the randomization procedure. Interim analysis and final decision making are based upon inference on the primary outcome of long-term endpoint. Our simulation studies demonstrate that the new design can effectively assign patients to the better treatment arms and select better treatment arms with high probability.
