Abstract
Seamless phase II/III designs allow strong control of the familywise type I error rate when the most promising of a number of experimental treatments is selected at an interim analysis to continue along with the control treatment. If the primary endpoint is observed only after long-term follow-up it may be desirable to use correlated short-term endpoint data available at the interim analysis to inform the treatment selection. If short-term data are available for some patients for whom the primary endpoint is not available, basing treatment selection on these data may, however, lead to inflation of the type I error rate. This paper proposes a method for the adjustment of the usual group-sequential boundaries to maintain strong control of the familywise error rate even when short-term endpoint data are used for the treatment selection at the first interim analysis. This method allows the use of the short-term data, leading to an increase in power when these data are correlated with the primary endpoint data. Copyright (C) 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
