Classical and Adaptive Clinical Trial Designs Using ExpDesign Studio (PDF)

ExpDesign Studio facilitates more efficient clinical trial
design

This book introduces pharmaceutical statisticians, scientists,
researchers, and others to ExpDesign Studio software for classical
and adaptive designs of clinical trials. It includes the
Professional Version 5.0 of ExpDesign Studio software that frees
pharmaceutical professionals to focus on drug development and
related challenges while the software handles the essential
calculations and computations. After a hands-on introduction to the
software and an overview of clinical trial designs encompassing
numerous variations, Classical and Adaptive Clinical Trial
Designs Using ExpDesign Studio:

* Covers both classical and adaptive clinical trial designs,
monitoring, and analyses

* Explains various classical and adaptive designs including
groupsequential, sample-size reestimation, dropping-loser,
biomarker-adaptive, and response-adaptive randomization
designs

* Includes instructions for over 100 design methods that have
been implemented in ExpDesign Studio and step-by-step demos as well
as real-world examples

* Emphasizes applications, yet covers key mathematical
formulations

* Introduces readers to additional toolkits in ExpDesign Studio
that help in designing, monitoring, and analyzing trials, such as
the adaptive monitor, graphical calculator, the probability
calculator, the confidence interval calculator, and more

* Presents comprehensive technique notes for sample-size
calculation methods, grouped by the number of arms, the trial
endpoint, and the analysis basis

Written with practitioners in mind, this is an ideal self-study
guide for not only statisticians, but also scientists, researchers,
and professionals in the pharmaceutical industry, contract research
organizations (CROs), and regulatory bodies. It's also a go-to
reference for biostatisticians, pharmacokinetic specialists, and
principal investigators involved in clinical trials.
