Overview
Key facts
This short course introduces examples of advanced designs, such as adaptive, cluster, factorial and cross-over trials, building on the key concepts and features of clinical trial design and their delivery, considered in earlier courses within the programme. The benefits and challenges of each design will be considered from the perspectives of different stakeholders, including patient, funder, investigator, biostatistician and trial management staff. The course also considers feasibility studies and pilot trials (often needed to inform a definitive trial in the evaluation of a complex intervention or for difficult to recruit to trials), and how qualitative research can be embedded within trials to more efficiently answer research questions.By the end of this short course, students will be equipped with an understanding of the available designs and when and where they are applicable.
University of Birmingham's Design and Delivery of Further Clinical Trials programme will teach you more about this topic.
