Abstract Text:

Background: Efficient planning in clinical trials with time-to-event outcomes hinges on accurate timing predictions for achieving target event numbers. Traditionally, event prediction relies on simple survival models, overlooking the wealth of prognostic clinical markers. We propose a novel approach for event prediction by joint modeling the clinical markers and survival outcome.
Statistical Methods: The proposed methodology integrates the time-to-event outcome and patient-level potential prognostic longitudinal clinical outcomes. Leveraging on the fitted model, we conducted personalized prediction for each at-risk subject.
Results: The simulation studies established the superior predictive performance of the proposed method compared to benchmark model. Retrospective application in a randomized phase III oncology clinical trial underscored the model's accuracy, surpassing alternative benchmark models.
Conclusions: The proposed novel event prediction method advocates for the adoption of joint modeling as a robust strategy for event prediction. By harnessing the wealth of prognostic clinical markers, this approach improves prediction accuracy in clinical trials.
