Abstract:
Classical data monitoring rules do not formally assess the impact
that the results of a clinical trial might have on clinical practice.
Bayesian rules have been proposed that overcome these difficulties.
We present details of their implementation in an oesophageal cancer
trial. We discuss practical issues encountered in implementation.
