Adaptive Methods in Clinical Research, 17-19 September 2024Info Location Contact More Info Event Information
DescriptionMany confirmatory clinical trials turn out to be negative and do not lead to the registration of a new drug or the introduction of a new treatment. Consequently, there is growing interest amongst clinical researchers in the use of efficient methods for conducting early and late phase trials to identify the most promising compounds, and in using interim analyses to allow trials to be stopped as soon as there is sufficient evidence to reach a convincing conclusion. Adaptive designs allow mid-trial modifications to be made to the trial so that the accumulating data guides investigators to the most appropriate form of evaluation. While offering great flexibility during the trial, they require specialised approaches to be designed and analysed.

More InformationIn this course, we are going to introduce the definition of adaptive designs and consider its several most common types that are delivered through a mixture of lectures, practical sessions, and discussions. Specifically, we are going to explore 1) Group Sequential Designs Throughout the course, the examples of implemented in practice designs that the MRC BSU has contributed to recently will be used to demonstrate the methodology. The workshop will involve practical sessions in R on these designs implementations and discussions on the practical aspects. By the end of the course, you will design your own adaptive trial.
