This webinar will discuss adaptive designs for phase I, phase II and phase III clinical trials in oncology. The webinar will take the form of a debate between two statisticians trying to meet the requirements of an oncologist. The pros and cons of various adaptive designs will be discussed. Topics will include continual reassessment methods for phase I trials, adaptive Bayesian designs for phase III trials, adaptive sample size increases and adaptive enrichment of phase III trials.
