To be presented byCarl-Fredrik Burman & Lisa Hampson
Regulatory agencies require strong control of the Type I Error for all confirmatory statistical tests. Multiplicity issues can arise for several reasons, e.g.: the possibility of winning on two different endpoints (like PFS and OS), interim analyses, or testing for effects in several patient groups. This course will focus on the principles underlying multiple comparison procedures and their applications to confirmatory clinical trials. We will describe simple ways to construct valid multiple tests, and will explore how tests can be incorporated into recycling strategies. Group-sequential and some common adaptive tests will also be described. Concepts will be introduced through a combination of lectures, exercises, and discussion sessions where groups will focus on the issues that might be encountered when designing and communicating statistical tests.
The following topics will be covered:
Introduction to Multiple Testing
Recycling and graphical methods
Group sequential and adaptive designs
Operating characteristics and improving them using correlations
Using decision analysis to optimise multiple testing procedures
