The current practice of designing single-arm phase II survival trials is limited under the exponential model. Trial design under the exponential model may not be appropriate when a portion of patients are cured. There is no literature available for designing single-arm phase II trials under the parametric cure model. In this paper, a test statistic is proposed, and a sample size formula is derived for designing single-arm phase II trials under a class of parametric cure models. Extensive simulations showed that the proposed test and sample size formula perform very well under different scenarios.
在指数模型下,目前设计单臂II期生存试验的方法存在局限性。当一部分患者被治愈时,指数模型下的试验设计可能并不合适。目前尚无关于在参数治愈模型下设计单臂II期试验的文献。本文提出了一种检验统计量,并推导了在一类参数治愈模型下设计单臂II期试验的样本量公式。大量模拟结果表明,所提出的检验和样本量公式在不同情况下表现良好。
