Background:

Quantal response studies often face challenges with insufficient data for selecting appropriate stimulus or dose levels.
Initial study information can be scanty or unreliable, hindering accurate response relationship modeling.

Purpose of the Study:

To propose a novel two-stage design for quantal response studies when initial data is limited.
To provide a method for determining whether and how to conduct a follow-up study to enhance information.
To select optimal additional stimulus levels for a second-stage study using established design theories.

Main Methods:

A two-stage adaptive design approach is presented.
Optimal design theory is employed to select stimulus levels for the second stage.
The method relies on a fitted model derived from the initial study's data.

Main Results:

The proposed two-stage design effectively addresses information scarcity in initial quantal response studies.
The method allows for the strategic selection of new stimulus levels to improve model estimation.
Demonstrated advantages through application in a fishery-related study.

Conclusions:

The two-stage design offers a robust strategy for optimizing quantal response studies with limited initial data.
This approach enhances the reliability and efficiency of selecting stimulus levels in follow-up investigations.
The methodology provides a valuable tool for researchers in fields requiring dose-response assessments.
