• Sample size and power calculation for
  • means (continuous endpoint)
  • rates (binary endpoint)
  • survival trials with flexible recruitment and survival time options
  • count data
• Simulation tool for means, rates, survival data, and count data
  • Assessment of adaptive sample size/event number recalculations based on conditional power
  • Assessment of treatment selection strategies in multi-arm trials
• Adaptive analysis of means, rates, and survival data
• Adaptive designs and analysis for multi-arm trials
• Adaptive analysis and simulation tools for enrichment design testing means, rates, and hazard ratios
• Automatic boundary recalculations during the trial for analysis with alpha spending approach, including under- and over-running
