TLDR
A flexible method of extending a study based on conditional power, where the significance of the treatment difference at the planned end is used to determine the number of additional observations needed and the critical value necessary after accruing those additional observations.

Bayesian adaptive designs for clinical trials

TL;DR: In this article, a Bayesian adaptive design for a comparative two-armed clinical trial using decision-theoretic approaches is proposed, where a loss function is specified, based on the cost for each patient and the costs of making incorrect decisions at the end of a trial.

A Comparison of Phase II Study Strategies

TL;DR: Different phase II study strategies are compared to determine the most efficient drug development path in terms of number of patients and length of time to conclusion of drug efficacy on overall survival.

Adaptive Design in Clinical Research: Issues, Opportunities, and Recommendations

TL;DR: The issues and opportunities of adaptive designs are discussed, and recommendations are made in the following aspects: study planning, trial monitoring, analysis and reporting, trial simulation, and regulatory perspectives.

Efficient adaptive designs with mid-course sample size adjustment in clinical trials.

TL;DR: In this paper, a new approach that involves at most three stages and is developed in the general framework of multiparameter exponential families was proposed for clinical trials in which the nuisance parameters or alternative of interest are unknown or likely to be misspecified before the trial.

Modification of Sample Size in Group Sequential Clinical Trials

TL;DR: A new group sequential test procedure is developed by modifying the weights used in the traditional repeated significance two-sample mean test, which has the type I error probability preserved at the target level and can provide a substantial gain in power with the increase of sample size.

Adaptive design methods in clinical trials – a review

TL;DR: Several commonly considered adaptive designs in clinical trials are reviewed and some examples concerning the development of Velcade intended for multiple myeloma and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma are given.

Adaptive Designs in Clinical Drug Development—An Executive Summary of the PhRMA Working Group

TL;DR: Three particular areas where it is felt that adaptive designs can be utilized beneficially are discussed: dose finding, seamless Phase II/III trials designs, and sample size reestimation.

Adaptive increase in sample size when interim results are promising: a practical guide with examples.

TL;DR: The benefits and limitations of adaptive sample size re-estimation for phase 3 confirmatory clinical trials are discussed and those promising circumstances in which a conventional final inference can be performed while preserving the overall type-1 error are defined.
