Abstract
Clinical trials in vulnerable populations are extremely difficult to conduct. A sequential phase I–II trial aimed at finding the appropriate dose of levetiracetam for treating neonatal seizures was planned with a maximum sample size of 50 newborns. Three primary outcomes are considered: efficacy and two types of toxicity that occur at the same time but are measured at different time points. In the case of failure, physicians could add a second agent as a rescue medication. The primary outcomes were modelled via a logistic model for efficacy and a weighted likelihood with pseudo‐outcomes for the two toxicities taking into account the dependences under Bayesian inference. Simulations were conducted to assess the design properties.
