  1. * t 1 is the time of the first interim review; C 1 and C 2 are the cutpoints for acceptance at the first stage and rejection at the second stage; EDA and MDA are the expected and maximum duration of accrual; and ETSL and MTSL are the expected and maximum total study length. Expected values are calculated under the null hypothesis; percentages are calculated relative to the single stage values. @ optimal design
