East® 5: A Comprehensive Package for Adaptive and Group Sequential Design, Interim Monitoring, and Simulation - Continuing Education - CTW
ASA
Instructor(s): Cyrus Mehta, Cytel Inc.
We will release East® 5, a major upgrade of the East software package for design, interim monitoring, and simulation of adaptive and group sequential clinical trials. New analytical and simulation capabilities are provided for the survival setting that can accommodate fixed and variable follow-up, nonuniform accrual, varying hazard rates, and drop-outs. The software will support both group sequential designs, where early stopping is the goal, and adaptive designs, where sample size re-estimation is the goal. For the sample size re-estimation problem, we will demonstrate how East can compute confidence intervals and point estimates following an adaptive design. Finally, we will demonstrate a new East module for adaptive dose-response modeling.
