Efficient Trial Design with the New East® Architect — Continuing Education CTW
ASA , Cytel Software Corporation
Instructor(s): Cyrus Mehta, Cytel, Inc., Charles Liu, Cytel Inc.
"This workshop introduces East® Architect, the entirely re-designed update of our industry standard clinical trial design tool. With East on Cytel's Architect software platform, you can design, monitor and simulate single look, group sequential and adaptive trials with one arm, two or multiple arms, for binary, continuous or time-to-event endpoints. At the trial design stage, it is important to investigate many different combinations of design parameters - including power, spending functions, timing of interim analyses, and enrollment rates - to discover the most efficient combination for the trial under consideration. We'll tour the new interface, which enables previews of multiple scenarios simultaneously,allowing you to optimize design parameters. You'll experience the advantages of importing external source data sets for interim and final analyses, and forcomputing conditional power. We will introduce and review many new features, including: - multiple scenarios stored in workbook files for easy retrieval - multiple scenarios compared graphically for easy communication - handling trials with delayed response and drop-outs - extending available designs through external calls to R functions - adjusting design for stratification factors - computation of Bayesian power or probability of success (assurance) While open to all, East users especially will value this CTW, where they will get an excellent orientation in a short amount of time. It will also give them an opportunity to express their views and influence further developments on the new platform. "
