Generalization of Wei's urn design to unequal allocations in sequential clinical trials

Contemporary Clinical Trials Communications, 2016
Wei's urn design was proposed in 1987 for subject randomization in trials comparing m≥2 treatments with equal allocation. In this manuscript, two modified versions of Wei's urn design are presented to accommodate unequal allocations.

Dimethyl Fumarate, But Not Rituximab, Reduces Serum GFAP Levels and PIRMA in Relapsing–Remitting MS

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Serum neurofilament light chain (sNfL) and glial fibrillary acidic protein (sGFAP) levels are believed to reflect mainly acute and chronic disease processes in multiple sclerosis (MS), respectively. In this study, we investigated whether dimethyl fumarate (DMF) and rituximab (RTX) differentially affect these biomarkers.
