Abstract:

Fundamental statistical methodologies for adaptive designs are almost saturated, though methodological development on more adaptive approaches continues. Since 2000, the enthusiasm about adaptive designs being potential panacea and the push for adaptive designs to be employed in the clinical trials have taken the pharmaceutical drug development a fresh look about novel and potentially innovative designs beyond the usual fixed designs. Many workshops and special issues of professional statistical journals have focused on the adaptive design or flexible design topics over these years. In October 2007, Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use of European Medicines Agency published the Reflection Paper on Methodological Issues in Confirmatory Clinical Trials Planned with an Adaptive Design.
