Abstract:
Treatment switching frequently occurs in clinical trials due to ethical reasons. Intent-to-treat analysis without adjusting for switching yields biased and inefficient estimates of the treatment effects. In this paper, we propose a class of semiparametric semi-competing risks transition survival models to accommodate two-way time-varying switching. Theoretical properties of the proposed method are examined. An efficient expectation-maximization algorithm is derived to obtain maximum likelihood estimates and model diagnostic tools. Existing software is used to implement the algorithm. Simulation studies are conducted to demonstrate the validity of the model. The proposed method is further applied to data from a clinical trial with patients having recurrent or metastatic squamous-cell carcinoma of head and neck.

Crossover Experiments
Crossover designs are performed even with smaller sample sizes since the samples can act as their controls. These are better than simple randomized trials since patients are exposed to all the treatments.
