 en A sequential test procedure for monitoring a singular safety and efficacy outcome
Alan D. Hutson

Abstract

In this note we describe a modification of the sequential probability ratio test (SPRT) developed for the purpose of "flagging" a significant increase in the mortality rate of a treatment relative to a control while ensuring that double-blinding and the Type I error for the primary test of efficacy, also based on mortality rates, is not compromised.

Keywords
