Group Sequential Design for Randomized Phase III Trials under the Weibull Model.

Abstract:

:In this article, a parametric sequential test is proposed under the Weibull model. The proposed test is asymptotically normal with an independent increment structure. The sample size for a fixed sample test is derived for the purpose of group sequential trial design. In addition, a multi-stage group sequential procedure is given under the Weibull model by applying the Brownian motion property of the test statistic and sequential conditional probability ratio test methodology.
