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.

Integrated phase II/III clinical trials in oncology: a case study.

TL;DR: Although integrated phase II/III designs should not be used in all situations, under appropriate conditions, significant gains can be achieved when using integrated phase III designs, including smaller sample size, time and resources savings, and shorter study duration.

Adaptive Survival Trials

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed an alternative test incorporating allevent times, where a conservative assumption is made in order to guarantee typeI error control. But, their approach may ignore a substantial subset of the observed event times, since it is the earliest recruited patients that is ignored.

Estimation of treatment effect following a clinical trial with adaptive design.

TL;DR: This paper introduces a new framework to model clinical trial data flow based on a marked point process (MPP), which allows us to use methods of stochastic calculus for analyses of any adaptive clinical trial.

On flexibility of adaptive designs and criteria for choosing a good one--a discussion of FDA draft guidance.

TL;DR: This discussion paper further classify the less well-understood adaptive designs into the categories of flexible and wildly flexible ones and recommend the latter not be used and suggests a set of performance characteristics as criteria for choosing a good design from a pool of flexible adaptive designs and group sequential designs.

Design issues and extensions of multi-arm multi-stage clinical trials

DJ Bratton
TL;DR: The MAMS design, which compares multiple new treatments against a control in a single trial, obviating the need for multiple two-arm studies, and ceases recruitment to poorly performing arms during the study is extended to other types of outcome measure such as binary.

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.
