多区域临床试验中协变量不匹配下的区域治疗效应推断AI 解读

Multi-regional clinical trials (MRCTs) are central to global drug development, enabling evaluation of treatment effects across diverse populations. A key challenge is valid and efficient inference for a region-specific estimand when the target region is small and differs from auxiliary regions in baseline covariates or unmeasured factors. We adopt an estimand-based framework and focus on the region-specific average treatment effect (RSATE) in a prespecified target region,…

同时存在死亡截断与缺失的多元结局整群随机试验贝叶斯推断AI 解读

Cluster-randomized trials (CRTs) on fragile populations frequently encounter complex attrition problems where the reasons for missing outcomes can be heterogeneous, with participants who are known alive, known to have died, or with unknown survival status, and with complex and distinct missing data mechanisms for each group. Although existing methods have been developed to address death truncation in CRTs, no existing methods can jointly accommodate participants who drop out…
