Adaptive Survival Analysis — Adaptive Time-to-Event Trial Design
Adaptive survival analysis integrates adaptive clinical trial design with time-to-event statistical methods, allowing pre-specified modifications to sample size, event targets, or allocation ratios at interim stages based on accumulating survival data. It is widely used in oncology, cardiovascular, and infectious disease research where the primary endpoint is a hazard-based outcome such as progression-free survival or all-cause mortality.
