Adaptive Clinical Trials
Adaptive clinical trials can reduce time-to-market and cut development costs
An introduction to applications of adaptive design
An adaptive design clinical trial can help to create a stronger value proposition for your product and give you a competitive edge, by reducing development costs and accelerating time-to-market. How can you apply adaptive design to empower your clinical trial? To get started, read our blog: An introduction to applications of adaptive design

Adaptive design is a novel clinical trial approach that is supposed to maximise efficiency and portfolio value. In the Operational Challenges of Adaptive Trials: Integrated Technology and Best Practices for Successful Implementation white paper, you’ll discover:
- How to overcome three critical operational challenges that could prevent success in an adaptive clinical trial
- Four criteria you should fulfil in order to ensure a robust technology infrastructure for adaptive design
- Several real-world examples of adaptive design errors and how to fix them
Adaptive design case studies
Avoid three key sources of operational error in adaptive trials
Case study one: Despite early signs of efficacy, an adaptive Phase III superiority trial for a new chronic graft-versus-host disease treatment failed after being halted. Learn how the erroneous early stopping decision could have been prevented. (PDF)
Case study two: A randomised, double-blind Phase III non-inferiority trial of a new treatment for acute infectious diarrhoea against a comparator employed an adaptive design calling for two interim analyses to adjust sample size. (PDF)
Case study three: Mitigating development risks through adaptive design. (PDF)
Regulatory agencies encourage use of adaptive designs
Over the past several years, regulators, including the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), European Medicines Agency (EMA), and Japan’s Pharmaceuticals and Medical Device Agency (PMDA), have provided guidance on the use of adaptive design for clinical development, which has accelerated industry adoption of adaptive design trials. The FDA's Critical Path Initiative identifies adaptive design as key to improving trial efficiency. Adaptations include sample size optimization and changing allocation based on the optimal dose and dose-response curve.
