Designing clinical trials with arbitrary specification of survival functions and for the log rank or generalized Wilcoxon test.
This article describes a computer program that allows interactive determination of the length of accrual period and follow-up period sufficient to assure desired level of significance and power. The program allows for arbitrary specification of the hypothesized survival curves and the alternative survival curve. It allows use of either the generalized Wilcoxon test or the log rank test. The program can be run on an IBM personal computer.
