A model-based approach to estimate the AIDS-free time distribution in homosexual men using longitudinal data.

abstract：:A new two-stage design is proposed that is suitable for early detection of the anticancer activity of experimental therapies in Phase II oncology trials. The endpoints of interest are response rate and early progression rate. The anticancer activity is defined by a positive signal in one endpoint and a non-negative si...
