Sample Size Calculations for Combination Drugs of 2 Monotherapies With a Single Approved Dose Level: Binary Endpoint
11 Department of Applied Statistics, Yonsei University, Seoul, Korea.
Background:
In this article, we study the sample size calculations for the combination drugs of 2 monotherapies with a single approved dose level when the primary endpoints are binary.
Methods:
Two study cases are examined: In the first, each monotherapy has the same indication, while in the second, each monotherapy has a different indication. The sample sizes are calculated by using an asymptotic joint distribution of test statistics and employing unequal allocation for 3 popular measures of 2 proportions: the risk difference, the log relative risk, and the log odds ratio.
Results:
Results show that our proposed method produces smaller total sample sizes compared with the heuristic method.
Conclusions:
The total sample sizes can be reduced by incorporating unequal allocation and dependency between 2 test statistics.
