This edited volume is a definitive text on adaptive clinical trial designs from creation and customization to utilization. As this book covers the full spectrum of topics involved in the adaptive designs arena, it will serve as a valuable reference for researchers working in industry, government and academia. The target audience is anyone involved in the planning and execution of clinical trials, in particular, statisticians, clinicians, pharmacometricians, clinical operation specialists, drug supply managers, and infrastructure providers. In spite of the increased efficiency of adaptive trials in saving costs and time, ultimately getting drugs to patients sooner, their adoption in clinical development is still relatively low. One of the chief reasons is the higher complexity of adaptive design trials as compared to traditional trials. Barriers to the use of clinical trials with adaptive features include the concerns about the integrity of study design and conduct, the risk of regulatory non-acceptance, the need for an advanced infrastructure for complex randomization and clinical supply scenarios, change management for process and behavior modifications, extensive resource requirements for the planning and design of adaptive trials and the potential to relegate key decision makings to outside entities. There have been limited publications that address these practical considerations and recommend best practices and solutions. This book fills this publication gap, providing guidance on practical considerations for adaptive trial design and implementation. The book comprises three parts: Part I focuses on practical considerations from a design perspective, whereas Part II delineates practical considerations related to the implementation of adaptive trials. Putting it all together, Part III presents four illustrative case studies ranging from description and discussion of specificadaptive trial design considerations to the logistic and regulatory issues faced in trial implementation.

Bringing together the expertise of leading key opinion leaders from pharmaceutical industry, academia, and regulatory agencies, this book provides a balanced and comprehensive coverage of practical considerations for adaptive trial design and implementation.

She is the lead or co-author of more than 60 peer-reviewed publications in statistics or medical journals and lead editor of two books on adaptive design and benefit-risk assessment, respectively. She is the co-founder and co-chair of the American Statistical Association (ASA) Biopharmaceutical Section (BIOP) Real-world Evidence Scientific Working Group from 2018 to 2022. Weili is the BIOP Chair-Elect, Chair, and Past Chair from 2020-2022. She is also an Associate Editor of Statistics in Biopharmaceutical Research since 2014, and an elected Fellow of ASA since 2018. Yixin Fang After he received his PhD in Statistics from Columbia University in 2006, Yixin Fang had been working in academia before he joined AbbVie in 2019. Currently, he is a Research Fellow and Director of Statistics in Medical Affairs and Health Technology Assessment Statistics (MA&HTA Statistics) at AbbVie. Within MA&HTA Statistics, he is Head of the therapeutics areas (TAs) of Eye Care and Specialty and Head of Causal Inference Center (CIC). In this role, he is involved with the design and analysis of Phase IV studies and real-world studies in medical affairs and leading HTA submissions in the TA of Eye Care. In addition, he is active in the statistical community with over 100 peer-reviewed manuscripts and his research interests are in real-world data analysis, machine learning, and causal inference. Hongwei Wang Dr. Hongwei Wang has close to 20 years' experience working in the biopharmaceutical industry. He is currently a Research Fellow and Director at Medical Affairs and Health Technology Assessment Statistics of AbbVie. Prior to that, Hongwei worked at Sanofi and Merck with increasing responsibilities. He has been leading evidence planning and evidence generation activities across various therapeutic areas in the fields of real-world studies, network meta-analysis and post-hoc analysis with a mission to support medical affair strategy and optimal reimbursement. Hongwei received his PhD in Statistics from Rutgers University, conducts active methodology research and their applications to different stages of drug development. He serves as coauthor of about 40 manuscripts in peer reviewed journals and over 100 presentations at scientific congresses.
