ICTI Expert Hosts Roundtable at FDA Conference

September 14, 2005

Eva Miller, Ph.D., the Manger of Biostatistics at ICTI, is hosting a roundtable today at the 2005 FDA/Industry Statistics Workshop. Dr. Miller will discuss adaptive trial designs, which ICTI facilitates for clinical sponsors through the use of its IVRS and EDC technology.

Adaptive trial designs allow modifications to be made to a clinical trial after patients have been enrolled, without compromising the scientific integrity of the trial. In adaptive trials changes such as dropping a treatment arm, modifying sample size, and balancing treatment assignments using adaptive randomization can occur. As a result of implementing these designs, sponsors can sometimes consolidate phases II and III.

Valarie Higgins, ICTI’s Vice President of Client Services, notes,

“Our clients really appreciate our ability to help them reduce costs and accelerate their clinical programs through use of our adaptive trial design enabling technologies, IVRS and EDC. Equally important is the advantage adaptive designs can have for clinical trial subjects when ineffective treatments are discontinued before the conclusion of a trial. It’s fantastic to be able to create benefits for everyone involved. “
