How to identify optimal phase II trial designs

Providing a practical guide containing the information needed to make crucial decisions regarding phase II trial designs, A Practical Guide to Designing Phase II Trials in Oncology sets forth specific points for consideration between the statistician and clinician when designing a phase II trial, including issues such as how the treatment works, choice of outcome measure and randomization, and considering both academic and industry perspectives. A comprehensive and systematic library of available phase II trial designs is included, saving time otherwise spent considering multiple manuscripts, and real-life practical examples of using this approach to design phase II trials in cancer are given.

A Practical Guide to Designing Phase II Trials in Oncology:

• Offers a structured and practical approach to phase II trial design
• Considers trial design from both an academic and industry perspective
• Includes a structured library of available phase II trial designs
