This book will examine current issues and controversies in the design of clinical trials, including topics in adaptive and sequential designs, the design of correlative genomic studies, the design of studies in which missing data is anticipated. Each chapter will be written by an expert conducting research in the topic of that chapter. As a collection, the chapters would be intended to serve as a guidance for statisticians designing trials.

Testo aggiuntivo
From the reviews:
“‘Designs for Clinical Trials: Perspectives on Current Issues’ fills the gap between professional journals and school textbooks by addressing a few important, rapidly evolving statistical topics. The book is intended for statistical practitioners like clinical trialists who actively use statistics but do not follow the literature on recent biostatistical thinking.” (Norman M. Goldfarb, Journal of Clinical Research Best Practices, Vol. 9 (2), February, 2013)
