Abstract:

Conditional power (frequentist) and predictive power (mixed Bayesian-frequentist) approaches have been proposed in the literature for interim monitoring of superiority clinical trials. With these stochastic curtailment methods, a decision to continue the trial or curtail sampling at an interim look is based on the probability of getting a statistically significant result at the end of the trial conditional on the data already observed. This talk extends these approaches to equivalence trials using the two one-sided tests (TOST) procedure.
