Abstract:

While clinical trials provide some of the most rigorous sources of evidence, they are often hampered by low enrolment, and low impact on clinical decisions in the real world. This talk will describe a series of research which utilizes patient oriented methods to improve the design of future clinical trials. The first study focuses on how clinical trial designs can be modified to increase enrolment by considering the values of the patients eligible for recruitment. The second example will describe how patient values can be integrated into a composite endpoint for a clinical trial. This enables optimal treatments to be determined from a clinical trial for patients with differing values
