Clinical Trials & Tribulations

Of adaptive and factorial designs
A biostatistician’s interpretation of last week’s ODAC

At its most recent meeting, the FDA Oncologic Drugs Advisory Committee focused on perioperative clinical trials, which the agency defined as neoadjuvant phase followed by surgery and continuing with adjuvant treatment using the same experimental agent (The Cancer Letter, July 26, 2024).

ODAC vote will likely lead to three-arm and four-arm designs–and pragmatic trials–for perioperative indications

The FDA Oncologic Drugs Advisory Committee July 25 voted unanimously to set more rigorous standards for new trials for approval of perioperative indications of cancer drugs.
