具有延迟治疗效应的随机免疫治疗试验贝叶斯最优二期设计AI 解读

Immunotherapy has transformed cancer treatment, yet its delayed therapeutic effects often lead to non-proportional hazards, rendering many conventional phase II designs underpowered and prone to type I error inflation. To address this issue, we propose a novel Bayesian Optimal Phase II design (DTE-BOP2) that explicitly models the uncertainty in the separation timing of treatment effect. The treatment separation timepoint (denoted by S) is endowed with a truncated-Gamma…

结合多个随访时点检验优先级复合终点AI 解读

Composite endpoints are widely used in cardiovascular clinical trials. In recent years, hierarchical composite endpoints-particularly the win ratio approach and its predecessor, the Finkelstein-Schoenfeld (FS) test, also known as the unmatched win ratio test-have gained popularity. These methods involve comparing individuals across multiple endpoints, ranked by priority, with mortality typically assigned the highest priority in many applications. However, these methods have…
