COURSE: Sequential Trials Analysis by Scott Emerson, Basel, 17-19 Feb 2003
Increasingly, clinical trials are conducted using group sequential methods
in order to address the ethical and efficiency issues that arise when
performing experiments with human volunteers. The design, conduct, and
analysis of a sequential clinical trial is necessarily more involved than
that for a clinical trial in which the data would only be analyzed at the
end of the study. In this short course we present the additional issues
that must be considered when conducting a group sequential trial. The group
sequential methods are illustrated using S+SeqTrial, a module for the
design, monitoring, and analysis of clinical trials.
