There has been a considerable interest and increase in the application of adaptive designs in the pharmaceutical industry, particularly after the publication of the FDA Draft Guidance on Adaptive Design in 2010. Adaptive design has the potential to reduce the cost and length of drug development, and/or improve the probability of success and de-risk drug development. However, there is a lot of uncertainty and questions around the use of adaptive design. In this course we will identify opportunities in early and late phase development where adaptive design may be applied, and use practical examples to demonstrate how to appropriately design and implement such trials in consensus with FDA Guidance.
