Design characteristics for two early looks. Estimated probabilities of stopping for futility and efficacy at the first and second looks, expected sample size (ESS) and overall study power, for effect sizes in range 0 to 10 for a\(\alpha ^{*}_{L}=(0.08,0.24,0.975)\), b\(\alpha ^{*}_{L}=(0.16,0.48,0.975)\), c\(\alpha ^{*}_{L}=(0.24,0.72,0.975)\) and d\(\alpha ^{*}_{L}=(0.32,0.96,0.975)\). Here \(\alpha ^{*}_{U}(1)=0\) and \(\alpha ^{*}_{U}(2)=0.001\), ρ=0.5; other settings are as in Table 1
