Program description

New adaptive designs are being used more frequently in clinical trials, as companies strive to shorten the time it takes to complete trials and to limit exposure to as few patients as possible to untried medications. Despite these challenges we hope to develop an adequate safety profile.

This webinar will present and describe some of the common types of adaptive designs and discuss current regulatory thinking and acceptance of their use. Advantages and disadvantages of this approach will also be considered.

Target Audience

This webinar is designed for professionals in the pharmaceutical industry involved in clinical research, medical affairs, medical writing, biostatistics and other disciplines who need to be familiar with the latest innovations in clinical trial design.
