Abstract:

The proper design of phase 2 studies in drug development is critical in appropriately assessing the safety profile and collecting preliminary evidence of efficacy with which to move forward. A case study on the planning of a response-adaptive dose-finding study in neuropathic pain will be presented, including statistical and operational aspects of the trial design. Consultation with an inter-disciplinary group of professionals allowed an integrated evaluation of the potential implementation hurdles and benefits of the adaptive design. Intense simulation studies were required to produce the necessary evaluations under a variety of possible scenarios and design alternatives. Trial simulation software was particularly critical for the planning exercise.
