Table 4.

Proportion of trials deciding in favor of H1 when including patients treated at the MTD, MTD −1, MTD +1 for the four scenarios of Table 3 and trials under Scheme 3. T1 is based on model based efficacy rates; T2 is based on an acceptable region of efficacy and toxicity and T3 is based on the observed efficacy rate. Median Sample size and interquartile range (IQR) in order to make a decision in favor of H1 at any dose.
