Area of Science:

  • Biostatistics
  • Clinical Trial Methodology
  • Statistical Science

Background:

  • Adaptive trial designs offer flexibility in clinical research.
  • Combination test or conditional error function approaches are key methodologies.
  • A comprehensive review of their applications is warranted.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review and summarize the applications of adaptive design methodology.
  • To analyze features of published adaptive trial designs.
  • To identify trends and areas for improvement in reporting.

Main Methods:

  • Literature search identifying 60 relevant papers.
  • Categorization of papers by methodology, year, country, journal impact factor, and adaptation type.
  • Detailed discussion of ten recent high-impact publications.

Main Results:

  • Most applications focus on sample size reassessment.
  • Germany is the leading country in publications.
  • Renowned journals provide space for methodological details, but overall presentation needs enhancement.

Conclusions:

  • Adaptive designs are increasingly applied, particularly for sample size adjustments.
  • There is a need for improved clarity and standardization in reporting adaptive trial methodologies.
  • Further education and development of standards are recommended.
