Abstract:
|
In large scale clinical trials with lengthy follow-up, data monitoring is critical but costly. It is important to examine the efficiency of data monitoring. This paper presents a method of partial monitoring to reduce reporting error to an acceptable level by targeting the monitoring where it can be most effective. The efficiency of this target monitoring will be checked through simulations. The assumptions for exploring this method are similar to basic factors of true clinical trials, so it can be used in a real clinical settings.
