説明

We discuss group-sequential three-arm noninferiority clinical trial designs that include active and placebo controls for evaluating both assay sensitivity and noninferiority. We extend two existing approaches, the fixed margin and fraction approaches, into a group-sequential setting with two decision-making frameworks. We investigate the operating characteristics including power, Type I error rate, maximum, and expected sample sizes, as design factors vary. In addition, we discuss sample size recalculation and its impact on the power and Type I error rate via a simulation study.
