Reconsideration of sample size and power calculation for overall survival in cancer clinical trials

When designing a cancer clinical trial, it is usual to assume an exponential distribution for a time-to-event outcome such as overall survival (OS). OS is often expressed as the sum of progression-free survival (PFS) and survival post-progression (SPP), each of which is assumed to be exponentially d...
