About

Throughout the Clinical Trials course at Newcastle University, we will use real examples to show the methodology. You will look at how to use available software (in both R and Stata depending on delegate preference) to put in place the procedure in practice.

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.

Programme Structure

Lecture topics include:

  • Group-sequential designs.
  • Advanced multiplicity correction.
  • Multi-arm multi-stage designs.
  • Master protocols.
