trtswitch

trtswitch provides methods for treatment switching adjustment in randomized clinical trials, including:

• rank preserving structural failure time model (RPSFTM)
• iterative parameter estimation (IPE)
• inverse probability of censoring weights (IPCW)
• marginal structural model (MSM)
• simple two-stage estimation (TSEsimp)
• improved two-stage estimation with g-estimation (TSEgest)

Installation

Install from GitHub:

# install.packages("remotes")
remotes::install_github("kaifenglu/trtswitch")

Example: RPSFTM

library(trtswitch)
library(dplyr)

# Build treatment exposure proportion used by rpsftm
# in the one-way switching example dataset.
data <- immdef %>%
  mutate(rx = 1 - xoyrs / progyrs)

fit <- rpsftm(
  data = data,
  id = "id",
  time = "progyrs",
  event = "prog",
  treat = "imm",
  rx = "rx",
  censor_time = "censyrs",
  boot = FALSE
)

fit

# Key estimates
fit$psi
fit$hr
fit$psi_CI
fit$hr_CI
