Abstract:
Single-arm two-stage designs for phase II of clinical trials typically focus on a binary endpoint obtained by dichotomizing an underlying continuous measure of treatment efficacy. To avoid the resulting loss of information, we propose a two-stage design based on a Bayesian predictive approach that directly uses the original continuous endpoint. Numerical results are provided with reference to phase II cancer trials aimed at assessing tumor shrinking effect of an experimental treatment.

Crossover Experiments
Crossover designs are performed even with smaller sample sizes since the samples can act as their controls. These are better than simple randomized trials since patients are exposed to all the treatments.
