Following publication of the article [1], it was noted that due to a typesetting error the old version of Fig. 1 is displayed with the correct version of Fig. 1, and it should be deleted.

Fig. 1.

The “optimal” futility boundary α_0,opt as a function of the admissible parameters Pow_loss and π_wrong for N = 140 (blue dots) and n = 188 (red squares). The black symbols highlight the “optimal” futility boundaries for Pow_loss = 0.05 and π_wrong = 0.05

The correct Fig. 1 and caption have been included in this correction, and the original article has been corrected.
