An Integrated Platform for Designing Clinical Trials
To facilitate researchers and practitioners to adopt novel adaptive trial designs in practice, we have launched website http://www.trialdesign.org to provide easy-to-use Apps and software for implementing novel phase I, II, I-II clinical trial designs. Our goal is to improve patient care by enhancing the safety, efficiency and success rate of clinical trials through the use of novel adaptive clinical trial designs.
