With the development novel targeted agents and immunotherapy, the clinical trial designs and the statistical considerations that can achieve the objectives to demonstrate the treatment effects are critical. The advances in science provide an opportunity to target the population that benefits most with least risk. This has led to development of adaptive enrichment design strategies with more complex trial designs and a comprehensive trial network that can answer multiple objectives with multiple outcomes. Such protocols need careful advance planning with often little or minimal prior information and process has to be adaptive to fast changing environment with the development of novel therapies and drug approvals. In this session we will discuss features of such novel designs.
Learning Objective :
At the conclusion of this session, participants should be able to:
- Explain statistical issues arising in oncology studies
- Understand the impact of biomarkers and their use in oncology studies
- Discuss advantages and disadvantages of Umbrella or basket trials
