tteICE - Treatment Effect Estimation for Time-to-Event Data with
Intercurrent Events
Analysis of treatment effects in clinical trials with
time-to-event outcomes is complicated by intercurrent events.
This package implements methods for estimating and inferring
the cumulative incidence functions for time-to-event (TTE)
outcomes with intercurrent events (ICE) under the five
strategies outlined in the ICH E9 (R1) addendum, see Deng
(2025) <doi:10.1002/sim.70091>. This package can be used for
analyzing data from both randomized controlled trials and
observational studies. In general, the data involve a primary
outcome event and, potentially, an intercurrent event. Two data
structures are allowed: competing risks, where only the time to
the first event is recorded, and semicompeting risks, where the
times to both the primary outcome event and intercurrent event
(or censoring) are recorded. For estimation methods, users can
choose nonparametric estimation (which does not use covariates)
and semiparametrically efficient estimation.
