Abstract:
|
Adaptive trial designs can be a valuable addition to the drug development toolkit, but more objective evaluation based on experience with their use in practice is needed. Statistical, logistical, and procedural issues need to be addressed. For example, some key statistical issues are control of the type I error rate and unbiased estimation. Some logistical issues are the timely collection of quality data, and the need for the integration of data capture, drug supply management, and communication between patient/investigator and the randomization center. A key procedural issue is the processes by which interim data is reviewed and decisions are made and implemented in ways to ensure that the integrity of the trial are not compromised. In this session, 5 panel members across academia and industry will discuss issues and practical solutions based on their experiences.
