adaptive trial design

Adaptive trial design is a flexible approach used in clinical research to test new treatments. Unlike traditional trials that follow a fixed plan, adaptive trials allow researchers to modify certain aspects of the study as it progresses, such as changing dose levels, sample sizes, or even treatment groups. This adaptability can lead to more effective and efficient studies, as researchers can respond to early results and optimize the trial based on real-time data. Ultimately, adaptive trials aim to improve patient outcomes and accelerate the drug development process while maintaining scientific rigor.
