Additional Information

Optimal planning when assuming a prior distribution for the treatment effect can be done withe the help of the R package drugdevelopR (available at: https://github.com/Sterniii3/drugdevelopR) for programs

  • in the basic setting (Kirchner et al., 2016),
  • with multiple phase III trials (Erdmann et al., 2019a) or
  • with bias adjustment (Erdmann et al., 2019b)
