Overview

Description

Designing a clinical trial? Why wait until you finish collecting data to analyze the results? Group sequential designs (GSDs) allow you to conduct interim analyses of clinical-trial data while controlling the familywise error rate. If interim results are conclusive, you can stop the trial early for efficacy or futility, saving resources and sparing participants from receiving inferior treatments.

Stata 18 introduced the gs suite of commands to calculate stopping boundaries, compute sample sizes, compare GSDs with equivalently powered fixed studies, and graph the stopping boundaries for your trial. In this webinar, you will learn how to use Stata to select the best GSD for your trial, perform sample size calculations, and analyze trial data. No prior knowledge of clinical trial design is required.
