A class for simulation results survival in enrichment designs.

Details

Use getSimulationEnrichmentSurvival() to create an object of this type.

Fields

accrualIntensity

The absolute accrual intensities. Is a numeric vector of length kMax.

accrualTime

The assumed accrual time intervals for the study. Is a numeric vector.

adaptations

Indicates whether or not an adaptation takes place at interim k. Is a logical vector of length kMax minus 1.

allocationRatioPlanned

The planned allocation ratio (n1 / n2) for the groups. For multi-arm designs, it is the allocation ratio relating the active arm(s) to the control. Is a single positive numeric value.

calcEventsFunction

An optional function that can be entered to define how event size is recalculated. By default, recalculation is performed with conditional power with specified minNumberOfEventsPerStage and maxNumberOfEventsPerStage.

conditionalPower

The conditional power at each stage of the trial. Is a single numeric value between 0 and 1.

conditionalPowerAchieved

The calculated conditional power, under the assumption of observed or assumed effect sizes. Is a numeric matrix.

cumulativeEventsPerStage

The cumulative number of events per stage. Is a numeric matrix.

directionUpper

Specifies the direction of the alternative, only applicable for one-sided testing. Default is TRUE which means that larger values of the test statistics yield smaller p-values. Is a single logical value.

dropoutRate1

The assumed drop-out rate in the treatment group. Is a single numeric value between 0 and 1.

dropoutRate2

The assumed drop-out rate in the control group. Is a single numeric value between 0 and 1.

dropoutTime

The assumed time for drop-out rates in the control and treatment group. Is a single numeric value.

earlyStop

The probability to stopping the trial either for efficacy or futility. Is a numeric vector.

effectList

The list of subsets, prevalences and effect sizes with columns and number of rows reflecting the different situations to be considered.

effectMeasure

Criterion for treatment arm/population selection, either based on test statistic ("testStatistic") or effect estimate ("effectEstimate"). Is a single character value.

epsilonValue

Needs to be specified if typeOfSelection = "epsilon". Is a single numeric value.

eventsPerStage

Deprecated: use singleEventsPerStage or cumulativeEventsPerStage instead Is a numeric matrix.

eventTime

The assumed time under which the event rates are calculated. Is a single numeric value.

expectedNumberOfEvents

The expected number of events under specified alternative. Is a numeric vector.

expectedNumberOfSubjects

The expected number of subjects under specified alternative.

futilityPerStage

The per-stage probabilities of stopping the trial for futility. Is a numeric matrix.

futilityStop

In simulation results data set: indicates whether trial is stopped for futility or not.

intersectionTest

The multiple test used for intersection hypotheses in closed systems of hypotheses. Is a single character value.

iterations

The number of iterations used for simulations. Is a single numeric value representing a whole number.

kappa

The shape of the Weibull distribution if kappa!=1. Is a single numeric value.

maxNumberOfIterations

The number of simulation iterations. Is a single numeric value representing a whole number.

maxNumberOfSubjects

The maximum number of subjects for power calculations. Is a numeric vector.

maxNumberOfSubjectsPerStage

Determines the maximum number of subjects per stage for data-driven sample size recalculation. For two treatment arms, is the number of subjects for both treatment arms. For multi-arm designs, is the minimum number of subjects per selected active arm. Is a numeric vector of length kMax containing whole numbers.

minNumberOfSubjectsPerStage

Determines the minimum number of subjects per stage for data-driven sample size recalculation. For two treatment arms, is the number of subjects for both treatment arms. For multi-arm designs, is the minimum number of subjects per selected active arm. Is a numeric vector of length kMax containing whole numbers.

numberOfPopulations

The number of populations in an enrichment design. Is a numeric matrix.

plannedSubjects

Determines the number of cumulated (overall) subjects when the interim stages are planned. For two treatment arms, is the number of subjects for both treatment arms. For multi-arm designs, refers to the number of subjects per selected active arm. Is a numeric vector of length kMax containing whole numbers.

populations

The number of populations in an enrichment design. Is a single numeric value representing a whole number.

populationEventsPerStage

The cumulative number of events per stage Is a numeric matrix.

rejectAtLeastOne

The probability to reject at least one of the (multiple) hypotheses. Is a numeric vector.

rejectedPopulationsPerStage

The simulated number of rejected populations per stage.

rValue

Needs to be specified if typeOfSelection = "rBest". Is a single numeric value.

seed

The seed used for random number generation. Is a single numeric value.

selectedPopulations

The selected populations in enrichment designs.

selectPopulationsFunction

An optional function that can be entered to define the way of how populations are selected.

singleNumberOfEventsPerStage

Deprecated: use singleEventsPerArmAndStage or singleEventsPerSubsetAndStage instead

stratifiedAnalysis

For enrichment designs, typically a stratified analysis should be chosen. When testing means and rates, a non-stratified analysis can be performed on overall data. For survival data, only a stratified analysis is possible. Is a single logical value.

studyDuration

The study duration for specified effect size. Is a positive numeric vector.

successCriterion

Defines when the study is stopped for efficacy at interim. "all" stops the trial if the efficacy criterion has been fulfilled for all selected treatment arms/populations, "atLeastOne" stops if at least one of the selected treatment arms/populations is shown to be superior to control at interim. Is a single character value.

successPerStage

The simulated success probabilities per stage where success is defined by user. Is a numeric matrix.

thetaH1

The assumed effect under the alternative hypothesis. For survival designs, refers to the hazard ratio. Is a numeric vector.

threshold

The selection criterion: treatment arm/population is only selected if effectMeasure exceeds threshold. Either a single numeric value or a numeric vector of length activeArms referring to a separate threshold condition for each treatment arm.

typeOfSelection

The way the treatment arms or populations are selected at interim. Is a single character value.
