Morning session: Multiple endpoints

At-least-one procedures

SAS programs and macros to compute adjusted p-values and lower simultaneous confidence limits for the Holm, fixed-sequence and fallback tests in the cardiovascular trial example.

Global procedures

SAS programs and macros to carry out global and component tests and perform sample size calculations in the osteoarthritis trial example.

Superiority-noninferiority procedures

SAS programs and macros to carry out the Tamhane-Logan test in the Alzheimer's disease trial trial example.

Afternoon session: Gatekeeping procedures

Serial and parallel gatekeeping procedures

SAS programs and macros to compute adjusted p-values for serial gatekeeping procedures (Type II diabetes trial example) and parallel gatekeeping procedures (cardiovascular trial example).

Tree gatekeeping procedures

SAS programs and macros to compute adjusted p-values for tree gatekeeping procedure (hypertension and Type II diabetes trial examples).
