mb_delayed_effect {simtrial}

Simulated survival dataset with delayed treatment effect

Description

Magirr and Burman (2019) considered several scenarios for their modestly weighted logrank test. One of these had a delayed treatment effect with a hazard ratio of 1 for 6 months followed by a hazard ratio of 1/2 thereafter. The scenario enrolled 200 patients uniformly over 12 months and cut data for analysis 36 months after enrollment was opened. This dataset was generated by the sim_pw_surv() function under the above scenario.

Usage

mb_delayed_effect

Format

A data frame with 200 rows and 4 columns:

• tte: Time to event.

Examples

library(survival)

fit <- survfit(Surv(tte, event) ~ treatment, data = mb_delayed_effect)

# Plot survival
plot(fit, lty = 1:2)
legend("topright", legend = c("control", "experimental"), lty = 1:2)

# Set up time, event, number of event dataset for testing
# with arbitrary weights
ten <- mb_delayed_effect |> counting_process(arm = "experimental")
head(ten)

# MaxCombo with logrank, FH(0,1), FH(1,1)
mb_delayed_effect |>
  maxcombo(rho = c(0, 0, 1), gamma = c(0, 1, 1), return_corr = TRUE)

# Generate another dataset
ds <- sim_pw_surv(
  n = 200,
  enroll_rate = data.frame(rate = 200 / 12, duration = 12),
  fail_rate = data.frame(
    stratum = c("All", "All", "All"),
    period = c(1, 1, 2),
    treatment = c("control", "experimental", "experimental"),
    duration = c(42, 6, 36),
    rate = c(log(2) / 15, log(2) / 15, log(2) / 15 * 0.6)
  ),
  dropout_rate = data.frame(
    stratum = c("All", "All"),
    period = c(1, 1),
    treatment = c("control", "experimental"),
    duration = c(42, 42),
    rate = c(0, 0)
  )
)
# Cut data at 24 months after final enrollment
