Appendix Table 1.

Sample sizes* needed to achieve 90% power at a .025 one-sided significance level for a hazard ratio of 0.7 in the biomarker-positive subgroup (assuming 3 years of accrual and 2 years of follow-up)

Biomarker positive, %
Design 100 80 60 50 40 30
Strategy 392 600 (613) 1008 (1089) 1440 (1568) 2220 (2450) 3880 (4356)
Enrichment or stratified 392 490 654 784 980 1307

Given in parentheses are the sample size estimates based on the approximate formula for the biomarker-strategy design (Dstrategy).
