SPCDAnalyze

Programs to find the sample size or power of studies using the Sequential Parallel Comparison Design (SPCD) and programs to analyze such studies. This is a clinical trial design where patients initially on placebo who did not respond are re-randomized between placebo and active drug in a second phase and the results of the two phases are pooled. The method of analyzing binary data with this design is described in Fava,Evins, Dorer and Schoenfeld(2003) doi:10.1159/000069738, and the method of analyzing continuous data is described in Chen, Yang, Hung and Wang (2011) doi:10.1016/j.cct.2011.04.006.
