In this course, you will know how to design an adaptive trial and how to communicate it to funders and health authorities. The course is built around the examples of adaptive trials that we have been involved with recently. Join us!

Excellent to see this paper out. For anyone planning an event that is interdisciplinary and includes patients representatives, this paper may be a useful resource. Supported by colleagues from MRC-NIHR Trials Methodology Research Partnership MRC Biostatistics Unit and many others!

It was indeed a very good recap of the day, if you missed it and want to get a glimpse of a great day of talks around clinical trial designs, do read this blog! ๐Ÿ‘‡
