Abstract:

We have considered the problem of drug combination in fixed dose trials to test whether a drug mixture, which may combine two or more agents, is more 'effective' than each of its components. Informative priors are derived for component drugs and a non-informative prior is assumed for the drug mixture. Sample sizes are evaluated by posterior standard errors, average probability of more effectiveness and Bayesian power.
