Abstract
In clinical trials, several covariate-adaptive designs have been proposed to balance treatment arms with respect to key covariates. Although some argue that conventional asymptotic tests are still appropriate when covariate-adaptive randomization is used, others think that re-randomization tests should be used. In this manuscript, we compare by simulation the performance of asymptotic and re-randomization tests under covariate-adaptive randomization. Our simulation study confirms results expected by the existing theory (e.g. asymptotic tests do not control type I error when the model is miss-specified). Furthermore, it shows that (i) re-randomization tests are as powerful as the asymptotic tests if the model is correct; (ii) re-randomization tests are more powerful when adjusting for covariates; (iii) minimization and permuted blocks provide similar results.
