摘要

It is observed that in clinical trials, in addition to the primary end points the use of co-primary endpoints play an effective role to determine if a new intervention is superior to the control intervention. In this connection, it is discussed about the need for developing new approaches to the design and analysis of clinical trials with co-primary endpoints. It is noted that though there are a number of methodologies that have addressed the use of multiple co-primary continuous endpoints no appropriate methodology is available for multiple binary endpoints. Therefore, in this article, it has been attempted to study the power and sample size determination for clinical trials with multiple correlated binary endpoints, when relative risks are evaluated as co-primary. In this regard a scenario is considered where the objective is to evaluate evidence for superiority of a test intervention compared with a control intervention, for all of the relative risks. The normal approximation method for sample size determination that incorporates the correlations among the endpoints into the calculations is discussed. The practical utility of the normal approximation method via Monte Carlo simulation is also evaluated. A simple but conservative procedure for sample size calculation is considered by treating the endpoints as if they are not correlated. The extension of the proposed methodology to a group-sequential setting is given.
