Project title: Bayesian Methods for Clinical and Observational Studies
Abstract: Traditional development of new drugs and biomarkers has followed the “one drug, one target disease” strategy, which is costly and inefficient and often leads to failure. Contrary to this strategy, we aim to create Bayesian Methods for Clinical and Observational Studies that study heterogeneous populations, target several diseases, and test various treatments from the pre-clinical and clinical stages. The aim of the project is to speed up the drug development process while increasing the power of results and biomarker discovery using adaptive randomization. We will develop novel and ethical Bayesian adaptive designs that: integrate data coming from non-concurrent trials; change the randomization ratios using covariate-dependent models; provide a way to analyze the study in the presence of intercurrent events, i.e., events that take place after the randomization and may bias the study results, in a causal framework.
Keywords: adaptive trials, causal inference, precision medicine
