SMi Group 8th annual Adaptive Designs in Clinical Trials Conference will be returning to London on 18-19 April 2016

LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM, March 18, 2016 /EINPresswire.com/ --
In the run up of the event, SMi Group have caught up with Silke Jorgens from ICON for a 60 seconds interview about critical challenges on adaptive designs in clinical trials.

“Adaptive design of clinical trial has been around for 20 years, and practitioners have built on experience and improved modelling techniques. However, there are still a number of challenges especially with implementation and patient recruitment. There is often a mismatch between actual clinical trial duration and project planning. I believe the industry has to overcome this via the use of early readouts for interim decision making to mitigate any limitation of adaptive design of clinical trial to ensure smooth and optimal operation”

The interview will cover Silke’s current role; challenges in the field; adaptive design implementation; strategies for clinical development of rare diseases; new developments for 2016 and much more.
