Allocation rule defines how subjects will be allocated to different treatment arms (e.g., response adaptive randomization); sampling rule defines how many subjects will be sampled in the next stage (e.g., sample-size re-estimation); stopping rule defines when to stop the trial (e.g., group sequential design); decision rule defines decisions pertaining to design change, not covered by the other three rules (e.g., changes in hypothesis or study endpoint) (9,10).
