Our employees regularly pass trainings and participate in seminars conducted by regulatory bodies, which helps us to consider current and even future requirements.
When it is scientifically justified, our specialists will offer adaptive clinical trial design that enables us to minimize sample size and number of treatment groups, shorten study timelines and decrease study cost as a result.
Clinical trial with adaptive design – is a study with pre-determined possibility to modify one or more elements of study design based on the interim study results, such as inclusion criteria, randomization procedure, treatment regimens in different therapeutic groups, sample size, concomitant therapy, schedule of research procedures, final endpoints and methods of statistical analysis. The most common examples of such studies: combined phase II-III studies and a recalculation of sample size on the results of the interim analysis.
