Novel methods for planning decision-making in Complex Innovative Designs comprise different features of adaptive efficient trials. Efficiency can be viewed from different angles to balance correct decision-making as early as possible for a drug development program with cost-effectiveness and quantification of multiple metrics to measure “success” of a trial. An example of a platform trial in the infectious disease area is presented to illustrate a Bayesian approach to utilize longitudinal data for developing a predictive model for the long-term clinical outcome. In confirmatory settings, the use of a basket trial will be used to illustrate the effect of adaptive trials on cost-effectiveness and feasibility of drug development in rare diseases and/or subgroups of common diseases like cancer. A third presentation will address an optimal sample size adaptation rule that maximizes return on investment, a metric to balance time to market, trial costs, and probability of success.

Learning Objective :

At the conclusion of this session, participants should be able to:

  • Understand essential elements of decision-making in the context of complex adaptive designs
  • Recognize different methods and applications of adaptive designs
  • Appreciate complexity of decision-making in drug development
