Selecting the Right Clinical Trial Design
And How to Maximise your Study Power

In this webinar, Ronan Fitzpatrick, Lead Statistician at nQuery, explores how to select the right clinical trial design and maximise study power by focusing on three critical areas:

  1. Trial Objectives & Data Alignment

  2. Avoiding Common Design Pitfalls

  3. Using Tools to Streamline Design Selection

Learning objective of this webinar:

Register for this free webinar, which will provide a ground-up overview of choosing a clinical trial design which suits the objectives and characteristics of your clinical trial.

Clinical trials are evolving faster than ever in terms of clinical trial design in areas ranging from adaptive designs, analysis tools, to endpoint selection. This complexity can easily lead to sub-optimal clinical trial design choices, which means a sure footing in selecting the right design for your trial is more important than ever. 

Key Statistical Approaches Covered in This Webinar

Selecting the Right Trial Design

  • Frameworks for aligning trial design with study objectives and available data

  • Considerations for choosing between parallel, crossover, and adaptive designs

  • Using decision trees and structured evaluation to guide design choice

Avoiding Common Design Pitfalls

  • Identifying causes of inflated sample sizes and low statistical power

  • Understanding the impact of endpoint selection and population assumptions

  • Lessons from real-world examples of sub-optimal design choices

Maximising Study Power

  • Strategies to optimise trial power without excessive sample inflation

  • Techniques for balancing design complexity with feasibility

  • Demonstration of nQuery tools for efficient power and sample size planning
