Clinical trials often evaluate multiple outcome variables to form a comprehensive picture of the effects of a new treatment. The resulting multidimensional insight contributes to clinically relevant and efficient decision-making about treatment superiority. Common statistical procedures to make these superiority decisions with multiple outcomes have two important shortcomings, however: (1) Outcome variables are often modeled individually, and consequently fail to consider the relation between outcomes; and (2) superiority is often defined as a relevant difference on a single, on any, or on all outcome(s); and lacks a compensatory mechanism that allows large positive effects on one or multiple outcome(s) to outweigh small negative effects on other outcomes. To address these shortcomings, this paper proposes (1) a Bayesian model for the analysis of correlated binary outcomes based on the multivariate Bernoulli distribution; and (2) a flexible decision criterion with a compensatory mechanism that captures the relative importance of the outcomes. A simulation study demonstrates that efficient and unbiased decisions can be made while Type I error rates are properly controlled. The performance of the framework is illustrated for (1) fixed, group sequential, and adaptive designs; and (2) non-informative and informative prior distributions.
