Abstract:

Minimizing Missing and collect off-treatment information are the keys to quality trials. However, other design and analysis considerations are also crucial. When there is no missing data, it is often advantageous to use a finer endpoint like change from baseline to maximize the power. However, when missing is present, it is usually much harder to find a credible way for imputation than for a crude endpoint like responder analysis. Fortunately selecting a crude endpoint does not necessarily lead to less power than a finer endpoint when strategies on handling missing data are take into consideration. In this talk I will focusing on examining the endpoint selection and their sensitivity and robustness when missing is present, using HIV trials as examples.
