OR Seminar – Adaptive design of personalized dose-finding clinical trials

Bahen Centre 40 St George St, Toronto, Ontario, Canada

Amin Khademi, Clemson University Abstract Identifying the right dose is one the most important decisions in drug development. Significant evidence has recently become available that emphasizes the role of patient covariates in optimal dose, i.e., a dose that is optimal for a patient group may be harmful for others. A key step towards personalized (precision) […]
