New method slashes errors in clinical trials, boosting treatment success
Platform trials testing multiple treatments face the risk of making errors in their conclusions. To address this, a new method called online error rate control is used. This method helps in controlling the number of false findings in the trial. By applying this method, researchers found that they could reduce the chances of making incorrect conclusions while still improving the power of their study. This approach could be beneficial for ongoing platform trials to ensure more accurate results.
