With the advance of the computer technology, developing personalized medicine is not an unachievable dream in the 21st century, although it remains a challenging task to efficiently conduct clinical trials with a limited number of patients. It is important to develop new methods by utilizing all available information and resources without lowering the current standard for assessing drug safety and efficacy.

Learning Objectives

Discuss how implementation of innovative designs and newly developed statistical approaches for small clinical trials such as rare disease or pediatric populations will aid the drug development process and draw all relevant stakeholders’ attention and interests.
