Contents: The purpose of our study is to propose a. procedure for determining the sample size at each stage of the repeated group significance, tests intended to compare the efficacy of two treatments when a response variable is normal. It is necessary to devise a procedure for reducing the maximum sample size because a large number of sample size are often used in group sequential test. In order to reduce the sample size at each stage, we construct the repeated confidence boundaries which enable us to find which of the two treatments is the more effective at an early stage. Thus we use the recursive formulae of numerical integrations to determine the sample size at the intermediate stage. We compare our procedure with Pocock's in terms of maximum sample size and average sample size in the simulations.
