OCTOPUS is a software package for simulating platform clinical trials to help trial designers design and evaluate multiple-intervention platform trials. It supports assembling platform trials with multiple Intervention Specific Appendices (ISAs), two-step randomization, borrowing of placebo across ISAs, customizable analyses, trial monitoring, and flexible simulation of patient outcomes and accrual. The package emphasizes extensibility through S3 classes, provides Trial Design and Simulation Design structures, example case studies, and an Examples repository, and is currently under development for beta testing.
