Abstract:

Traditional approaches dealing with multiplicity from multiple endpoints are in the form of p-value adjustment.These approaches will not take in account the possible latent structure of the multiple endpoints and may have lower power. To gain power, we developed latent variable approach in theory by considering correlation/covariance structure of the multiple outcomes. With reduced dimension, no adjustment of p values or only less adjustment are required. We developed conditions under which this approach is applied and we generalized this method to incorporate all types of endpoints. A simulation study is presented and an example from real clinical trial data is analyzed and interpreted.
