Overview
Adaptive designs are a novel approach to improving the efficiency and participant benefit of clinical trials. With an adaptive design, information gathered during the trial can change in a robust way.
Key Features of the Clinical Trials course at Newcastle University
Many types of adaptive designs are possible for different situations in all phases of trials. In both adaptive and non-adaptive trials, there are often numerous hypotheses tested.
Examples include:
- trials with many endpoints
- multiple treatment arms
- when a trial tests a treatment in different patient subgroups
Adaptive trials often mean that a particular hypothesis is tested several times during the trial. This can create issues with multiple testing. Suitable procedures ensure the appropriate error rate is controlled.
