SUMMARY:Group Sequential Trial Design Under Non-Proportional Hazards: Log-Rank Test vs RMST-Based Approach
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Alex Pemberton\nMasters Candidate in Biostatistics\nPlan B Adviser: Dr. Anne Eaton \nIn group-sequential clinical trials with time-to-event outcomes\, the log-rank test is often used at the final and interim analyses (e.g.\, to evaluate whether a trial can end early for superiority). However\, under non-proportional hazards\, use of the log-rank test may result in systematic errors. The log-rank test effectively tests whether the “average” hazard ratio (AHR) is one\, where the AHR is a weighted average of the time-dependent hazard ratio with weights that depend on the censoring distribution. So\, as the trial progresses and later events occur\, the AHR may differ between the interim and final analyses in a trial\, implicitly changing the question that the log-rank test addresses. In contrast\, interim analysis based on the difference in restricted mean survival time (RMST) up to a fixed restriction time is less sensitive to the censoring distribution and evaluates the same question throughout the trial when universal restriction times are used. Simulations of trials with non-proportional hazards were used to compare the operating characteristics of group sequential trial designs using RMST and the log-rank test\, including a scenario where treatment is initially better\, but worsens\, and a scenario where treatment is initially worse\, but improves.
