		Bayesian Prediction of Event Times for Blinded Randomized
		Controlled Trials // Bayesian methods for predicting the
		calendar time at which a target number of events is reached in
		clinical trials. The methodology applies to both blinded and
		unblinded settings and jointly models enrollment, event-time,
		and censoring processes. The package provides tools for trial
		data simulation, model fitting using 'Stan' via the 'rstan'
		interface, and event time prediction under a wide range of
		trial designs, including varying sample sizes, enrollment
		patterns, treatment effects, and event or censoring time
		distributions. The package is intended to support interim
		monitoring, operational planning, and decision-making in
		clinical trial development. Methods are described in Fu et al.
