Abstract
This paper presents a sample size formula for testing the equality of kappa (> or = 2) survival distributions using the Tarone-Ware class of test statistics in the presence of non-proportional hazards, time dependent losses, non-compliance and drop-in. This method extends the derivation by Lakatos of a sample size formula for comparing two survival distributions. A sample size formula is also presented for the stratified logrank test. We describe how one can utilize these generalized formulae in calculating sample sizes and assessing power in complex multi-arm clinical trials.
