Beyond the classical type I error: Bayesian metrics for Bayesian designs using informative priors

Nicky Best, Maxine Ajimi, Beat Neuenschwander +2

There is growing interest in Bayesian clinical trial designs with informative prior distributions, e.g. for extrapolation of adult data to pediatrics, or use of external controls.…

Beyond p-values: a phase II dual-criterion design with statistical significance and clinical relevance

Satrajit Roychoudhury, Nicolas Scheuer, Beat Neuenschwander

Background: Well-designed phase II trials must have acceptable error rates relative to a pre-specified success criterion, usually a statistically significant p-value. Such standard…

Using phase II data for the analysis of phase III studies: an application in rare diseases

Simon Wandel, Beat Neuenschwander, Tim Friede +1

Clinical research and drug development in orphan diseases is challenging, since large-scale randomized studies are difficult to conduct. Formally synthesizing the evidence is there…

Meta-analysis of two studies in the presence of heterogeneity with applications in rare diseases

Tim Friede, Christian Röver, Simon Wandel +1

Random-effects meta-analyses are used to combine evidence of treatment effects from multiple studies. Since treatment effects may vary across trials due to differences in study cha…

Meta-analysis of few small studies in orphan diseases

Tim Friede, Christian Röver, Simon Wandel +1

Meta-analyses in orphan diseases and small populations generally face particular problems including small numbers of studies, small study sizes, and heterogeneity of results. Howev…
