Background:To meet regulatory approval, interventions must demonstrate efficacy against a primary outcome in randomized clinical trials. However, when there are multiple clinically relevant outcomes, selecting a single primary outcome is challenging. Incorporating data from multiple outcomes may increase statistical power in clinical trials. We examined methods for analyzing data on multiple endpoints, inspired by real-world trials of interventions against respiratory syncytial virus (RSV).Method:We developed a novel permutation test representing a weighted average of individual outcome test statistics (wavP) to evaluate intervention efficacy in a multiple endpoint analysis. We compared the power and type I error rate of this approach to the Bonferroni correction (bonfT) and the minP permutation test. We evaluated the different approaches using simulated data from three hypothetical trials varying the intervention efficacy, correlation, and incidence of the outcomes, and data from a real-world RSV clinical trial.Results:
