Confirmatory Adaptive Clinical Trial Design, Simulation, and Analysis.

Functional Range

• Sample size and power calculation for
  • means (continuous endpoint)
  • rates (binary endpoint)
  • survival trials with
    • piecewise accrual time and intensity
    • piecewise exponential survival time
    • survival times that follow a Weibull distribution
• Fixed sample design and designs with interim analysis stages
• Simulation tool for means, rates, and survival data
  • Assessment of adaptive sample size/event number recalculations based on conditional power
  • Assessment of treatment selection strategies in multi-arm trials
• Adaptive analysis of means, rates, and survival data
• Adaptive designs and analysis for multi-arm trials
• Adaptive analysis tools for enrichment design testing means, rates, and hazard ratios
• Automatic boundary recalculations during the trial for analysis with alpha spending approach, including under- and over-running
