Overview
Adaptive designs are a novel approach to improving the efficiency and participant benefit of clinical trials. With an adaptive design, information gathered during the trial can change in a robust way.
Throughout the Clinical Trials course at Newcastle University, we will use real examples to show the methodology. We will look at how to use available software (in both R and Stata depending on delegate preference) to put in place the procedure in practice.
Key Features
Many types of adaptive designs are possible for different situations in all phases of trials. In both adaptive and non-adaptive trials, there are often numerous hypotheses tested.Examples include:trials with many endpointsmultiple treatment armswhen a trial tests a treatment in different patient subgroupsAdaptive trials often mean that a particular hypothesis is tested several times during the trial. This can create issues with multiple testing. Suitable procedures ensure the appropriate error rate is controlled.Programme Structure
You will learn:- a variety of new adaptive clinical trial designs, including multi-arm multi-stage (MAMS), umbrella studies and adaptive randomisation
- how to design adaptive trials, such as the implications of the design on the analysis and practical aspects of running the trial
