Abstrakt: A three-arm non-inferiority trial including a test treatment, a reference treatment, and a placebo is recommended to assess the assay sensitivity and internal validity of a trial when applicable. Existing methods for designing and analyzing three-arm trials with binary endpoints are mainly developed from a frequentist viewpoint. However, these methods largely depend on large sample theories. To alleviate this problem, we propose two fully Bayesian approaches, the posterior variance approach and Bayes factor approach, to determine sample size required in a three-arm non-inferiority trial with binary endpoints. Simulation studies are conducted to investigate the performance of the proposed Bayesian methods. An example is illustrated by the proposed methodologies. Bayes factor method always leads to smaller sample sizes than the posterior variance method, utilizing the historical data can reduce the required sample size, simultaneous test requires more sample size to achieve the desired power than the non-inferiority test, the selection of the hyperparameters has a relatively large effect on the required sample size. When only controlling the posterior variance, the posterior variance criterion is a simple and effective option for obtaining a rough outcome. When conducting a previous clinical trial, it is recommended to use the Bayes factor criterion in practical applications. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
