Model-robust Inference for Seamless II/III Trials with Covariate Adaptive Randomization
协变量自适应随机化下无缝Ⅱ/Ⅲ期试验的模型稳健推断
Seamless phase II/III trials have become a cornerstone of modern drug development, offering a means to accelerate evaluation while maintaining statistical rigor. However, most existing inference procedures are model-based, designed primarily for continuous outcomes, and often neglect the stratification used in covariate-adaptive randomization (CAR), limiting their practical relevance. In this paper, we propose a unified, model-robust framework for seamless phase II/III…
