Is there support for handling multiplicity in trial endpoints?

Yes, it includes guidance on using graphical multiplicity methods with the gMCPLite package to manage Type I error across primary and secondary hypotheses.

Does it support interim analysis and sample size re-estimation?

Yes, it includes detailed code patterns for both blinded and unblinded sample size re-estimation (SSR) and interim analysis results using the rpact package.

Can this skill help with Bayesian historical data integration?

Yes, it provides implementation patterns for Meta-Analytic Predictive (MAP) priors and robust priors using the RBesT package to integrate historical information while protecting against prior-data conflict.

What types of adaptive designs are covered?

It covers a wide range of modern designs including Platform, Basket, Umbrella, Response-Adaptive Randomization (RAR), and Multi-Arm Multi-Stage (MAMS) designs.

Which R packages does this skill support for clinical trials?

This skill covers major industry packages including adaptr for platform trials, rpact for group sequential designs, RBesT for Bayesian synthesis, basket for basket trials, and MAMS for multi-stage designs.
