Presented by ISCTM Adaptive Design Working Group
Co-chairs: Ron Marcus, MD; Judy Kando, PharmD
with Roseann White, MA and Michael Pencina, PhD

The first webinar conducted by the Adaptive Design Working Group of ISCTM focused on a high level review of types of adaptive design utilizing real-world CNS examples.  This second webinar will review two specific adaptive designs: Re-estimation of sample size utilizing the frequentist methodology and Sequential parallel comparison design (SPCD).  Several real world examples will be discussed to highlight the particular advantages and challenges.

Presented by ISCTM Adaptive Design Working Group
Co-chairs: Ron Marcus, MD; Judy Kando, PharmD
with Judith Quinlan, MSc

What You’ll Learn:
An overview of adaptive designs and how they can be used within the Neuroscience area will be presented. Key points will be illustrated through several adaptive design case studies from Neuroscience. Importantly, not ALL adaptive trials are the same, and therefore these case studies have been purposely selected to not only illustrate different adaptive approaches, but to also show how adaptive designs can be applied across the whole development space from early development through to late phase confirmatory studies.

Statements:

Nomenclature & Classification
Instrumentation & Special Populations
Analysis of SIB Data
Design and Methodology for SIB Treatment Studies
Developing Policy and Education on SIB Assessment

 

Steering Committee:
Phillip Chappell
Michelle Stewart
Larry Alphs

Objective:

Convene a wide variety of stakeholders such as representatives from governmental, pharmaceutical, academic, patient, and clinical trial study settings to discuss and reach consensus on approaches to resolve key outstanding issues confronting the field.

Working Goals:
Develop consensus on
–Principles and characteristics of a standardized nomenclature and classification scheme for SIB
–Best approaches to the detection and assessment of SIB across different patient populations
–Analysis of SIB data at the study, program and meta-analytic level and the uses of Big Data methods to better understand SIB
–Design of clinical studies and drug development programs for regulatory approval of medicines to treat SIB
–Approaches to developing policies and educational initiatives to support adoption of consensus recommendations
