Adaptive Clinical Trial Design using R by Dr Anna Heath

In this webinar Anna presents two adaptive clinical trials to investigate treatments for pain relief in the pediatric emergency department. Both these trials were designed using R and were combined with an R shiny interface to support their practical implementation.

Covering:
- Key advantages of adaptive clinical trials
- Methods required to design adaptive clinical trials
- Two paediatric adaptive clinical trials comparing treatments for pain management in the emergency department; a dose ranging study and a comparative effectiveness study
- Undertaking clinical trial design using simulations in R
- Using R shiny to support clinicians in the implementation of the trial.
