Overview

About
Maintained by Daniel Sabanés BovéCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗Issues ↗Declared funders: F. Hoffmann-La Roche AG and University of Ulm

Based on the illness-death model a large number of clinical trials with oncology endpoints progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) can be simulated, see Meller, Beyersmann and Rufibach (2019) doi:10.1002/sim.8295. The simulation set-up allows for random and event-driven censoring, an arbitrary number of treatment arms, staggered study entry and drop-out. Exponentially, Weibull and piecewise exponentially distributed survival times can be generated. The correlation between PFS and OS can be calculated.
