Asymptotic Optimal Sample Sizes for Discovering a Promising Treatment in Phase II Group Sequential Clinical Trials

We propose an asymptotic optimal procedure for determining the per-study sample size of a series of Phase II clinical studies. The sequence of studies seeks to discover an active treatment among a sequence of treatments under evaluation. Each phase II study proceeds in r stages with r=1, 2, or 3. Our result serves two practical purposes. First, it yields asymptotic optimal sample sizes. Second,...

Sample sizes in dosage investigational clinical trials: a systematic evaluation

The main purpose of investigational phase II clinical trials is to explore indications and effective doses. However, as yet, there is no clear rule and no related published literature about the precise suitable sample sizes to be used in phase II clinical trials. To explore this, we searched for clinical trials in the ClinicalTrials.gov registry using the keywords "dose-finding" or "dose-respon...

Computing Optimal Sequential Allocation Rules in Clinical Trials*

Michael N. Katehakis State University of New York at Stony Brook and Cyrus Derman Columbia University The problem of assigning one of several treatments in clinical trials is formulated as a discounted bandit problem that was studied by Gittins and Jones. The problem involves comparison of certain state dependent indices A recent characterization of the index is used to calculate more efficient...

a benchmarking approach to optimal asset allocation for insurers and pension funds

uncertainty in the financial market will be driven by underlying brownian motions, while the assets are assumed to be general stochastic processes adapted to the filtration of the brownian motions. the goal of this study is to calculate the accumulated wealth in order to optimize the expected terminal value using a suitable utility function. this thesis introduced the lim-wong’s benchmark fun...
