DIA Adaptive Designs in Clinical Trials: Overcoming Persistent Barriers
Nov 29 2012 8:30AM - Nov 30 2012 4:30PM | Hyatt Regency Washington on Capitol Hill
400 New Jersey Ave NW,
Washington, DC 20001-2097

Overview
Clinical trials designed with adaptive features have great potential to result in more efficient decision making within a drug development program, and these potential benefi ts have been recognized by FDA, as expressed in the 2010 draft guidance on Adaptive Design Clinical Trials for Drugs and Biologics. Surveys of adaptive trials designed or conducted in 2008, and again in 2011, with medium to large pharmaceutical companies and CROs have identified barriers to the implementation of these designs. Some barriers have been reduced over time, such as availability of statistical tools and flexible randomization and drug supply systems. Others persist, such as education, change management, pre-planning and simulation, and perceptions of regulatory acceptance.
The goal of this conference is to provide a forum to examine persistent barriers to the use of adaptive design approaches in clinical trials. Recommendations to address these and other barriers will be discussed in an interactive format and within the framework of practical approaches and best practices for conducting adaptive design trials.
Featuring a joint session with the co-located meeting Data Monitoring Committees: Best Practices and Future Directions
