Abstract
In a sequential medical trial, a simple randomized treatment assignment rule is proposed and analyzed. On the average this rule assigns more patients to the better treatment, and it is applicable to the case where patients have delayed responses to treatments. This new assignment rule is studied for both a fixed sample size and an inverse stopping rule.Keywords
