Overview
Key facts
Early phase clinical trials, colloquially those at phases I and II, seek to identify promising doses and investigate early efficacy signals of novel treatments. They typically use experimental methods quite distinct from traditional phase III trials.The first half of this course will cover methods for dose-finding. This phase provides the foundation for subsequent research and errors here can compromise the rest of the trial pathway. As experimental treatments evolve, methodology must also adapt. We will study historic and novel modern approaches for dose-finding, justified by the clinical setting.
University of Birmingham's Early Phase Clinical Trials programme will teach you more about this topic.
Programme Structure
Courses include:
- Explain the typical role, rationale, and objectives of early phase clinical trials.
- Discuss the ethical obligations to patients and critique experimental designs, in light of these obligations.
- Identify, explain and justify the experimental features commonly used in early phase clinical trials.
- Interpret and critically appraise the results from an early phase clinical trial.
- Synthesise existing evidence to create a defensible plan to conduct an early phase clinical trial in an experimental treatment.
