Adaptive trial designs offer a compelling alternative where trial parameters can be modified during the trial, based on pre-specified rules, to respond to emerging research findings.

The European Clinical Research Alliance on Infectious Diseases (Ecraid) has embraced adaptive trial designs as a tool for facilitating faster, more efficient, and higher-quality clinical research. The ground-breaking trials REMAP-CAP and RECOVERY both achieved unmatched speed and efficiency thanks to their adaptive platform design.

  • Module 1: General introduction to Ecraid and adaptive trial designs
  • Module 2: Seamless trial designs & endpoint selection
  • Module 3: Group sequential designs and sample size re-estimation
  • Module 4: Response adaptive randomisation and covariate-adjusted response adaptive randomisation designs
  • Module 5: Platform trials and the personalised randomised controlled trial
  • Module 6: Ethical and logistical concerns for adaptive designs, and CME test

ERS is one of 19 partners in the European Clinical Research Alliance on Infectious Diseases (Ecraid) consortium. Ecraid has launched a new educational series, the Ecraid training modules on adaptive clinical trial designs.
