Abstract
This chapter reviews recently developed methodology for designs that combine clinical trial phases II and III in a single trial. The designs enable both selection of the best of a number of experimental treatments and comparison of this treatment with a control treatment, and allow the trial to be stopped early if the best experimental treatment is insufficiently promising or is clearly superior to the control. The stopping rules are constructed to preserve the overall type I error rate for the trial. Two-stage designs are reviewed briefly and two multistage methods based, respectively, on the adaptive and group-sequential approaches are described in detail. The latter are illustrated by a trial to compare three doses of a new drug for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease.
