Adaptive Research Essentials Are Brought to Light in Wiley's Clinical Trials Handbook

Durham, NC: August 12, 2009
Michael Rosenberg, CEO of Health Decisions and founder of the CRO’s Agile Clinical Development methodology, authors an instructional guide to adaptive research best practices in John Wiley and Son’s comprehensive new Clinical Trials Handbook. According to Rosenberg, these adaptive techniques are vital to reforming the drug development industry in preparation for forecasted market challenges.
Key topics from Rosenberg’s chapter, “Adaptive Research:�
- How to enhance strategic trial design with adaptive methods such as dose finding, sample size re-estimation (SSRE), randomization, and seamless transition between phases
- The often-overlooked impact of applying adaptive methods to trial operations
- How adaptive techniques can mitigate the largest and most common sources of inefficiency in clinical research: enrollment, monitoring, query management and database lock
- Implementation issues encountered by adaptive programs, including procedural, structural, technological and regulatory components
“Adaptive methods must be recognized as a foundational element if we’re going to successfully raise the bar for clinical research efficiency. This section in Wiley’s new handbook is a complete description of the principles that I’ve seen benefit sponsors with dramatic time-savings during my twenty years of experience, regardless of program size, complexity or therapeutic area.�
