Beyond Hazard Ratios: Restricted Mean Survival Time (RMST) in Clinical Trial Design

The hazard ratio remains widely used but often relies on the proportional hazards assumption and can be difficult to interpret.
This course will introduce RMST as a model-free, clinically interpretable alternative, with applications in:
- trial design
- non-inferiority studies
- long-term survival evaluation
- competing risks
- recurrent events
