How adaptive design trials can improve trial outcomes and reduce costs

LONDON - March 5, 2014 - PRLog -- “It’s no secret that developing a new drug or medical device is an expensive and time-consuming endeavour. However, adaptive design clinical trials can give sponsor companies the flexibility to make changes to a trial in progress without compromising the validity of its findings. This flexibility can help make trials more efficient, increase their chances of success, reduce costs and time to market, and help increase opportunities for patients participating to benefit from the treatments being studied, which could also help boost trial recruitment efforts in the long run.”

To help professionals better understand how adaptive design trials can improve trial outcomes and reduce costs, SMi is hosting the 8th Adaptive Designs in Clinical Trials conference, taking place in London on the 24th and 25th March.
