“…More recently, the MaxCombo test based on the combination of the F‐H test statistics,
, have been recommended in oncology trials to provide robust performance under more general alternatives
8,10 10 . It has also been shown that the combination of
with a sequence of piecewise weighted logrank test statistics created after successively deleting events during an initial period provide robust performance under PH and general delayed treatment alternatives
13‐15 . Since all these combination tests follow an asymptotic multivariate normal approximation with independent increments covariance structure, the P ‐values can be obtained using algorithms originally designed for group sequential testing.…”
