Bruce Levin to Co-Chair Adaptive Clinical Trial Design Workshop
Bruce Levin, PhD, professor and chair of the Department of Biostatistics, will co-chair a workshop on scientific advances in adaptive clinical trial designs (ACTDs), an emerging and promising area in clinical trial research. Adaptive clinical trials provide an attractive approach to allow design changes during the course of a trial while maintaining the integrity of the trial. ACTDs can reduce the number of subjects needed to identify and develop promising therapies, thus shortening the time it takes to bring a new therapy into practice.
The workshop will promote and advance the dialogue about ACTDs in the scientific and public health worlds as well as provide a framework for discussing their advantages and disadvantages in an NIH- or non-profit-funded environment. Key stakeholders also will lead a discussion and make recommendations on the future directions of adaptive clinical trials.
Federal leaders in medicine and health, principal investigators, non-profit organizations and others interested in advancing clinical trial research are expected to attend. Co-chairing the workshop with Dr. Levin is Christopher S. Coffey, PhD, professor and deputy director of the Clinical Trials Statistical and Data Management Center in the University of Iowa’s Department of Biostatistics. Dr. Seamus Thompson, director of the Mailman School of Public Health Statistical Analysis Center for Clinical Trials, will be one of the key presenters.
The workshop takes place in Bethesda, MD on November 16-17.
