Abstract:

Control of the alpha level is a key issue in drug development. Even though the traditional alpha level is set to be 0.025 (one-sided), it is extremely difficult to control the realized alpha at the desired level, and the power of an experiment will be affected accordingly. Combining evidence in Phase IIB/III studies is just one way to reduce the over-conservatism for alpha-control and improve power in drug development.
