    This study introduces a new method for calculating confidence intervals in group sequential phase II trials. The proposed procedure offers shorter, more accurate probability intervals compared to existing techniques.

    Area of Science:

    • Biostatistics
    • Clinical Trial Design
    • Statistical Inference

    Background:

    • Group sequential designs are crucial for efficient clinical trials.
    • Accurate confidence intervals are essential for interpreting trial outcomes.
    • Existing methods for interval estimation in sequential trials have limitations.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To propose a novel procedure for constructing confidence intervals for response probability after group sequential phase II trials.
    • To enhance the accuracy and reduce the length of confidence intervals.
    • To provide a method applicable to both phase II and phase III trial interval estimation.

    Main Methods:

    • The proposed procedure orders the sample space based on the likelihood principle.
    • Confidence intervals are derived using this ordered sample space.

  • Numerical examples are used to demonstrate the method's performance.

    • Main Results:

    • The new method yields shorter confidence intervals compared to previous approaches.
    • The proposed procedure achieves more accurate probability coverage.
    • The method is shown to be effective in numerical simulations.

    Conclusions:

    • The likelihood principle-based ordering provides improved confidence intervals for group sequential trials.
    • This method offers a more precise and efficient way to estimate response probabilities.
    • The procedure is a valuable tool for interval estimation in later-phase clinical trials.
