Abstract
ABSTRACT Group sequential designs using Lan-DeMets error spending functions are proposed for historical control trials with time-to-event endpoints. Both O’Brien–Fleming and Gamma family types of sequential decision boundaries are derived based on sequential log-rank tests, which follow a Brownian motion in a transformed information time. Simulation results show that the proposed group sequential designs using historical controls preserve the overall type I error and power.
