The Cytel YouTube Channel hosts a wealth of video presentations from Cytel experts as well as external industry and academic speakers about various aspects of clinical trial designs and their implementation. In this blog, we've gathered 6 popular resources from the channel on topics from quantitative decision-making through to overcoming challenges in management of oncology trials. Read on...

A paper "Best practices case studies for 'less well-understood' Adaptive designs", has been published by the DIA Scientific Working Group on Adaptive Designs as a twin document to the previously discussed "Challenges and Opportunities of 'Less Well Understood' Adaptive Designs". This publication furthers understanding by reviewing 10 important case studies and sharing details on their design...

Last week, we were delighted to announce the release of East 6.4 bringing further cutting –edge approaches to the East user community. East is the industry standard platform for clinical trial design, simulation, and monitoring, improving scientific productivity during the critical planning stages of clinical development. In this blog we catch up with Yannis Jemiai, VP of Cytel to gain some...

There has been increasing interest in multi-arm multi-stage trials with treatment selection and sample size re-estimation at interim analysis. The East 6.4 release incorporates new Multi-Arm Multi-Stage (MAMS) module to support statisticians designing these studies. In this blog, we take a high level look at some of the features and advantages of this approach.

We have often said that one of the greatest benefits of an adaptive clinical trial is the flexibility it affords for decision-making [1]. Often this flexibility is taken to mean that sponsors have some leeway to accommodate events - foreseen or unforeseen, challenging or advantageous - midway through a trial. However, when designing a trial, it is often possible to leverage this flexibility...

Most of us are primed to think about the design of adaptive clinical trials as a narrow set of techniques applied to a specific set of problems. If you’re worried about the power of your study, for example, you can turn to your toolkit of adaptive methods and find a suitable use for sample size re-estimation. If the concern is getting the best possible dose, a multi-arm study which drops doses...
