This study introduces beta regression models for analyzing continuous or ordinal data in clinical trials. It develops optimal designs for these models, enhancing the efficiency and interpretability of trial results.

Area of Science:

Biostatistics
Clinical Trial Design
Statistical Modeling

Background:

The beta distribution is suitable for modeling responses within a finite interval, such as visual analog scales.
Beta regression models link distribution parameters to covariates like dose in clinical trials.
Existing models for ordinal data can be complex and difficult to interpret.

Purpose of the Study:

To explore locally optimal designs for beta regression models.
To focus on D-optimality, minimizing the generalized variance of maximum likelihood estimators.
To provide a parsimonious approach for analyzing continuous and ordinal data in clinical trials.

Main Methods:

Utilizing a beta regression framework to model bounded responses.
Employing locally optimal design criteria, specifically D-optimality.

Main Results:

Locally optimal designs were developed for beta regression models.
The sensitivity of these designs to model parameter misspecification was assessed.
The beta regression model demonstrated utility as a parsimonious approximation for ordinal data.

Conclusions:

Beta regression models offer a flexible and interpretable approach for clinical trial data analysis.
The proposed optimal designs enhance the efficiency of parameter estimation.
These methods provide a simpler alternative to complex models for ordered categorical outcomes.
