9th Early Phase Adaptive Trials Workshop

Presentation

The 9th Early Phase Adaptive Trials Workshop will bring together researchers, biostatisticians and clinical development specialists from academia, hospitals and industry in Paris.

Over the course of two days, the workshop will present methodological advances and applications relating to early-phase adaptive clinical trials. Discussions will focus in particular on dose-finding and dose optimisation, Phase I/II trials, Bayesian methods, the integration of pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic data, the sharing of information across populations or data sources, and the personalisation of therapeutic decisions. Significant attention will be given to simulation studies, the practical implementation of methods, and current challenges in the development of new therapies.

The format, based on short presentations and discussions, aims to foster exchanges between methodologists and to foster new collaborations.
