Case Studies in using FACTS to design Clinical Trials: A two-arm study with adherence model driven effect size and irregular interim analyses
Using FACTS to design a two-arm study where differences in adherence between the arms drive the effect size. Uncertainty in the effect size prompted spacing the interims to correspond to different sample sizes resulting in irregular interim analyses. Using a uses a finite mixture model from previous data on the analysis endpoint to justify the irregular interims.
Case Studies in using FACTS to design Clinical Trials: A Seamless Phase 2/3 multiple endpoint diabetes trial
Is this the most complex and most successful trial ever designed and run? Looking at the AWARD 5 trial for what became Eli Lilly’s Trulicity drug. The drug used response adaptive randomization, longitudinal modelling, dose response modelling and a utility function combining 4 endpoints. The trial selected a successful dose and switched early from phase 2 to a successful phase 3.
