After the success of last year's conference, SMi is proud to present their 4th Annual Adaptive Designs in Clinical Drug Development.
This conference is aimed at exploring the potential of adaptive trials now and in the future through looking at the process, from design through to implementation. The process will be emphasised and explained at all times by reference to real case studies.
You will hear presentations from the key players in the adaptive arena on the big questions adaptive design. Is an adaptive design suitable for my needs? What is the regulatory position on adaptive design? How do I build in adaption to my design? Will a seamless design prove any benefit? How do you manage the additional challenges of data collection, storage and manipulation? Where is the future for adaptive designs?
Attend this event to learn what adaptive designs can add to your clinical drug development experience.
