Abstract:
|
Blinded interim analyses in trials that use cross-over designs are becoming more frequent. One of the most popular types of interim is a sample-size re-estimation to ensure that the power of the trial is preserved in situations where there may be some uncertainty as to the size of the within-subject variance when the trial was planned. However, there seems to be little information in the literature on how to do undertake such an analysis. In this presentation we describe how such analyses can be done for cross-over designs with two, three and four periods and for each case provide formulae for the expected bias in a blinded sample-size re-estimation. We also describe an approach based on simulation that can be used when there are missing data or incomplete subjects at the interim.
