    Abstract Adaptive clinical trials allow researchers to make preplanned modifications based on accumulating data from an ongoing trial while preserving the trial's integrity and validity. These modifications may include early termination in cases of successes or lack of efficacy, refining the sample size, altering treatments or doses, or focusing recruitment efforts on individuals most likely to benefit.

    Abstract Statistical methods for controlling the type-I error of hypothesis tests in adaptive group sequential clinical trials are well established and well understood. However, methods for obtaining statistically valid point estimates and confidence intervals for adaptive designs are not as well established or as well understood. At the end of an adaptive trial, one may calculate the repeated confidence interval (RCI), which provides conservative coverage of

    Abstract Two methods for designing adaptive multiarm multistage (MAMS) clinical trials, originating from conceptually different group sequential frameworks are presented, and their operating characteristics are compared. In both methods pairwise comparisons are made, stage-by-stage, between each treatment arm and a common control arm with the goal of identifying active treatments and dropping inactive ones. At any stage one may alter the future course of the trial through adaptive changes to the prespecified decision rules for treatment selection and sample size reestimation, and notwithstanding such changes, both methods guarantee strong control of the family-wise error rate. The stage-wise MAMS approach was historically the first to be developed and remains the standard method for designing inferentially seamless phase 2-3 clinical trials. In this approach, at each stage, the data from each treatment comparison are summarized by a single multiplicity adjusted P-value. These stage-wise P-values are combined by a prespecified combination function and the resultant test statistic is monitored with respect to the classical two-arm group sequential efficacy boundaries. The cumulative MAMS approach is a more recent development in which a separate test statistic is constructed for each treatment comparison from the cumulative data at each stage. These statistics are then monitored with respect to multiplicity adjusted group sequential efficacy boundaries. We compared the powers of the two methods for designs with two and three active treatment arms, under commonly utilized decision rules for treatment selection, sample size reestimation and early stopping. In our investigations, which were carried out over a reasonably exhaustive exploration of the parameter space, the cumulative MAMS designs were more powerful than the stage-wise MAMS designs, except for the homogeneous case of equal treatment effects, where a small power advantage was discernable for the stage-wise MAMS designs.

    Abstract Introduction: Smartphone app-based goniometer (SG) are emerging as an alternative to Universal Goniometers (UG) in assessing joint range of motion (ROM). This study examined whether the experience level of examiner affected the reliability of assessing knee flexion (KF) and knee extension (KE) ROM using UG and SG.
    Methods: Participants with osteoarthritis of the knee or following total knee replacement were recruited. KF and KE ROM using UG and SG were assessed twice by an experienced physical therapist (PT) and a student PT (SPT). Intraclass correlation coefficients (ICC) examined the interrater (experienced PT vs SPT) and intrarater reliabilities (for experienced PT and SPT) in assessing KF and KE ROM for UG and SG. Concurrent relationships were examined between the knee ROM with pain and physical function using Pearson Correlation Coefficient (r).
    Results: The interrater reliability in assessing KF and KE ROM was excellent (ICC>0.90) between novice and experienced examiners. The standard error of measurement (SEM) for novice examiner in assessing KF was 1° and 2° while using UG and SG respectively; whereas the SEM for experienced examiner in assessing KF was 1° irrespective of which device was used. The concurrent relationships between KF and KE ROM with measures of pain and function were divergent (moderate to low correlations; r <0.7; p > 0.05).
    Conclusion: Both UG and SG have smaller measurement error in assessing KF and KE ROM irrespective of experience level of examiner and therefore no one tool is superior than the other for assessing knee ROM in clinical practice.
