6 What's New in ADDPLAN 5 MC?

The graphical user interface of ADDPLAN 5 MC was consistently developed according to modern Microsoft® Windows software. Some of the new features of ADDPLAN MC (which is fully integrated in the ADDPLAN package) are

  • Specific options for performing multi-armed designs including treatment arm selection
    • Confirmatory analysis for multi-armed trial with selection of treatment arms
    • Closed testing procedure (CTP)
    • Powerful simulation engine for performing multiarmed designs
    • Assess the power and ASN of adaptive designs
    • Choice of intersection tests: Dunnett, Bonferroni, Sidák, Simes, hierarchical testing
    • Comparison of selection rules
    • Comparison of dose-response shapes, e.g., linear, logistic, Emax, sigmoid Emax, exponential,...
    • Sample size reassessment procedures for multi-armed designs
    • Different sample size allocation over treatment arms
    • Multiplicity adjusted confidence intervals for many to one comparisons
    • Overall multiplicity adjusted p-values
  • Extensive choice of graphical illustration of simulation and study results
  • Planning, simulation, and analysis runs are completely separated in tabs
  • XML file storing system
  • File versions audit trail
  • Fully integrated adaptive and classical designs capabilities
