Hi,

 

I am trying to perform a power calculation for a 2-arm randomised clinical study using a sequential design study with 2 outcomes - I having some difficulties.

 

The study has 2 primary outcomes which should be evaluated in a hierarchical manner (ie, outcome 2 is only evaluated if the null hypothesis for outcome 1 is rejected). The 1st outcome is a binary efficacy outcome for which superiority is necessary (expected 20% absolute difference - 2-sided alpha 0.05). The 2nd outcome is a safety binary outcome for which non-inferiority is necessary (10% margin - 1-sided alpha 0.025). The study has 3 equally spaced analysis timepoints & should be stopped for futility (ie, efficacy not established, null not rejected) or safety harm (ie, safety outcome not non-inferior, null rejected).

 

Does anyone have any advice on how to program this? I currently have something like this to cover outcome 1, but I am unsure of how to incorporate the non-inferiority outcome 2.

 

I really appreciate any help,

Megan

What is ANOVA?

ANOVA, or Analysis Of Variance, is used to compare the averages or means of two or more populations to better understand how they differ. Watch this tutorial for more.
