On restricted mean time in favor of treatment

Lu Mao

Summary: The restricted mean time in favor (RMT-IF) is a nonparametric effect size used for complex life history data. It measures the average time the treated spend in a more favorable state than the untreated. This method can be easily estimated using plug-in Kaplan-Meier estimators.

Win statistics (win ratio, win odds, and net benefit) can complement one another to show the strength of the treatment effect on time-to-event outcomes

Gaohong Dong et al.

Summary: Conventional analyses of composite time-to-event outcomes using the time to the first event may not accurately reflect the most important outcome. Generalized pairwise comparisons and win statistics have been proposed as alternatives, but they have typically been used separately. This article examines the use of these three win statistics jointly for time-to-event outcomes and shows that they provide very similar p-values and statistical powers. The article also demonstrates that, when there is little censoring, the three win statistics can complement one another to show the strength of the treatment effect, but when there is significant censoring, adjustments may be needed. The R package WINS is recommended for calculations.

Sample size formula for general win ratio analysis

Lu Mao et al.

Summary: The article introduces general formulas for sample size calculation in win ratio analysis using U-statistic theory to derive null variance and standard rank deviation for the test statistic. Simulation studies demonstrate accurate estimates for sample size across different settings. Real data from clinical studies are used to calculate sample sizes for future trials.

Calculating power for the Finkelstein and Schoenfeld test statistic for a composite endpoint with two components

Thomas J. Zhou et al.

Summary: The Finkelstein and Schoenfeld (FS) test is a popular method for analyzing prioritized composite endpoints. We propose an analytical solution for calculating power and sample size for two-component hierarchical composite endpoints, which is computationally efficient and practical compared to the standard simulation approach.

Adjusting win statistics for dependent censoring

Gaohong Dong et al.

Summary: For composite outcomes that can be prioritized by clinical importance, win ratio, net benefit, and win odds are used to compare patients pairwise and generate win proportions. These win statistics have gained attention in methodological research and clinical trial design. Censoring in time-to-event outcomes can introduce bias, but inverse-probability-of-censoring weighting can correct this bias, and the CovIPCW-adjusted win statistics are shown to be unbiased estimators of treatment effect in the presence of dependent censoring.

Power and sample size calculation for the win odds test: application to an ordinal endpoint in COVID-19 trials

Samvel B. Gasparyan et al.

Summary: The win odds method is a distribution-free approach for comparing distributions of two independent random variables, particularly useful in analyzing ordinal scale endpoints in COVID-19 clinical trials. Power and sample size calculation formulas are provided for the win odds test for a single outcome, along with an implementation of the method in commonly used statistical software for full reproducibility.
