Log-Rank Test vs MaxCombo and Difference in Restricted Mean Survival Time Tests for Comparing Survival Under Nonproportional Hazards in Immuno-oncology Trials A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis

Pralay Mukhopadhyay et al.

Summary: This study compares the log-rank test with the MaxCombo and dRMST in immuno-oncology trials and evaluates their performance. The findings suggest that MaxCombo may be a pragmatic alternative to log-rank in cases where nonproportional hazards are expected. The results of the different tests show varying sensitivity in detecting treatment differences.
