Abstract:
|
Jeffries, Troendle, and Geller (2018) investigated testing for a treatment difference in a randomized clinical trial with a single outcome measured longitudinally over a series of common follow-up times. This testing examined the null hypothesis of no difference at any follow-up time versus the alternative that there is a difference for at least one follow-up time. This previous work is extended here by considering multivariate outcome measurements. Such considerations may arise when there is a desire to test the individual outcomes simultaneously with equal weight. Alternatively, there may be interest in first testing for a treatment difference in a global function of the outcomes (e.g. sum) with subsequent interest in examining the individual outcomes if the function shows a treatment difference. In either case, testing is conducted for each follow-up time and may be performed in a group sequential manner. Procedures are developed to determine follow-up time(s) for which a treatment difference exists and which combinations of outcome measurement and follow-up time show evidence of a difference while controlling for multiplicity in outcomes, follow-up, and interim analyses.
