Title: Simulations to Evaluate the Impact of Multiplicity Adjustment Procedure Selection in Clinical Trial Design
Author(s): Bidan Huang*+ and Yaqin Wang

Keywords: multiplicity ; controlling family-wise error rate
Abstract:

Controlling family-wise error rate (FWER) in confirmatory trials is becoming more strictly enforced by regulatory agencies. In addition, sponsors are conducting more and more phase 3 trials with multiple endpoints and more than one dose of study drug. Methods for controlling FWER (eg, Bonferroni, Hochberg, and Fixed Sequence methods for single family of hypotheses, as well as serial and parallel gatekeeping methods for hypotheses grouped into multiple families) are well-understood. However, when it comes to a specific project, which method to apply for multiplicity adjustment is less obvious. Simulation results are presented to show the comparisons of the operating characteristics of various methods, based on degree of dose-response and correlation between primary and secondary endpoints.
