Abstract:
|
Although there have been no dearth of Bayesian clinical trial designs published in the literature, many of them are not put into practice. This session consists of four integrated talks showing Bayesian clinical trials in action at the M. D. Anderson Cancer Center. The types of trials, the design considerations, and their operating characteristics are presented. I will discuss key components for the successful implementation of these trials and major road blocks. I will also lead the discussion on the practical considerations and lessons learned in designing and conducting Bayesian trials. Audience participation is much encouraged.
