Table 4 Probability of success and failures at interim and final analysis with Bayesian Emax model with informative prior (Ī²1 ~ N(āˆ’0.5, 1.2*1.2), Ī²2 ~ N(āˆ’2.9, 1.2*1.2) and Ī²3 ~ N(3, 2*2), Ī²1, Ī²2, and Ī²3 are parameter estimates of E0, Emax and ED50 respectively) in the half adaptive design (Scenario 3)
