Adaptive Designs with Survival Data method, the Fisher’s combination test approach, and some extensions of the conditional error rate principle. In this chapter we focus on the combination testing approach and briefly describe some problems that might arise in adaptive survival trials.

Multiple Testing in Adaptive Designsirst describe the various sources of multiplicity which can arise in such trial designs. To avoid an inflation of the overall Type I error rate beyond a pre-specified significance level ., such considerations have to be taken into account. In Sect. . we review the closure principle, which is a power

Nike Plaßmeier,Gerald A. Strakaocedures that were originally developed in the literature (which we refer to as classical group sequential designs) make this assumption. In practice, the situation with equally sized stages often occurs. Namely, in all cases when there is no specific reason for assuming different stage sizes the sa

We also briefly describe a worst case scenario adjustment procedure. We then sketch the use of designs with prefixed sample sizes that need not to be equal to each other. A more gene
