Statistical and practical aspects of the design and analysis of Multi-Arm Multi-Stage (MAMS) Platform Trials
Date: Wednesday 20th November 2024
Time: 12:00 – 17:00 UK TIME
Venue: via Zoom
Course Facilitators: Dr Babak Choodari-Oskooei, Professor Mahesh Parmar, Elena Frangou
This workshop is aimed at trial statisticians, regulators and clinicians who want to understand more about the design and analysis of multi-arm multi-stage (MAMS) platform trials, or those who are new to the area.
The workshop aims to help participants:
• Understand the motivation behind these designs
• Learn how to choose the design parameters and stopping boundaries, both for lack-of-benefit and efficacy
• Learn how to deal with overwhelming efficacy
• Learn about stopping randomisation to research arm
• Learn how to add a new research arm, and how to control Type I and II error rates in both pre-planned and unplanned addition of a new research arm
• Learn about MAMS designs in which arms are ranked and selectively chosen to continue
• Learn how the programs written in Stata software can be used to design MAMS trials with time-to-event and binary outcomes
