Abstract:

Long-term survival and delayed treatment effect are present in immuno-oncology (I-O) clinical trials, which violates the assumption of proportional hazards (PH). Therefore, the commonly used sample size and power formula derived under the PH model may not be proper to design an I-O clinical trial in the presence of both long-term survivors (cure) and delayed treatment effect. Ignoring the delayed treatment effect and cure fraction may lead to either under or over powered studies. We explore the proper sample size and power calculation methods for typical I-O clinical trials.
