Estimating treatment effects with treatment switching via semicompeting risks models: an application to a colorectal cancer study
利用半竞争风险模型估计治疗转换下的治疗效应:结直肠癌研究应用
Treatment switching is a frequent occurrence in clinical trials, where, during the course of the trial, patients who fail on the control treatment may change to the experimental treatment. Analysing the data without accounting for switching yields highly biased and inefficient estimates of the treatment effect. In this paper, we propose a novel class of semiparametric semicompeting risks transition survival models to accommodate treatment switches. Theoretical properties of…
