Notes. In all of these conditions, the average estimated odds ratio for the effect of was set to 3.0 for and 2.0 for , in terms of the pairwise comparison of (, ) to (, ) adaptive interventions, which is equivalent here to the effect of . For simplicity of interpretation, and the interaction were set to have no effect. The conditions differ in the relationship of the simulated late follow-up to the baseline assessment and initial treatment . The simulated decay in effect size over time between and is intended to be analogous to that found in many real-world clinical trials.
