A Sequential Probability Ratio Test Using a Biased Coin Design
Consider a sequential probability ratio test comparing two treatments, where each subject receives only one of the treatments. Each subject's treatment assignment is determined by the flip of a biased coin, where the bias serves to balance the number of patients assigned to each treatment.

The EC90 of remifentanil for inhibiting endotracheal intubation responses under anesthesia induction with ciprofol: study protocol for a dose-finding trial with the biased-coin design [PDF]
Background Tracheal intubation may cause significant hemodynamic responses. Many drugs have been shown to be effective in modifying these cardiovascular responses, including remifentanil, fentanyl, sufentanil, and alfentanil. However, the 90% effect-site

Sequential Treatment Allocation Using Biased Coin Designs
SUMMARY Biased coin designs are used in clinical trials as a means of achieving approximate balance within a randomized design. In this paper, detailed results are obtained for a class of biased coin designs from the point of view of the degree of balance achieved, selection bias, accidental bias and inference following the randomized ...

A Local Limit Theorem for a Biased Coin Design for Sequential Tests
In a clinical comparison of responses to two treatments, patients are admitted sequentially and given one of the two treatments. The allocation is determined randomly, to decrease the possibility of personal bias in the selection of subjects for the test.

Properties of Biased Coin Designs in Sequential Clinical Trials
Several authors have proposed and studied designs in a clinical trial experiment of testing treatments. For example \textit{B. Efron} [cf. Biometrika 58, 403-417 (1971; Zbl 0226.62086)] proposed and studied a sequential biased design for two treatments \(R=2\).
