  • ACES – a Cytel White Paper
    ACES – A Cytel White Paper Eric J. Silva May 2012 Abstract In the past decade, there has been a significant increase in the use of Data Monitoring Committees (DMC) and Adaptive Designs (AD) in clinical trials. While the monitoring of safety data by a formal committee is not required for all clinical trials, it has become the norm to have a formal DMC conduct periodic safety reviews for any controlled trial that evaluates treatments intended to prolong life or reduce risk of major adverse health outcomes, or for trials that compare rates of mortality or major morbidity. Confirmatory, pivotal, and adaptive design trials have more complex operational issues requiring an external and independent DMC. The DMC may have access to unblinded interim data, be required to make expert recommendations about how the trial should continue, and then ensure that planned adaptations are implemented as outlined in the protocol without involving the sponsor or exposing it to unblinded data or results. This added complexity creates a challenge and a question: how can the DMC, statisticians, and sponsor effectively communicate, share blinded and unblinded data, perform analyses, and implement adaptations without introducing operational bias or compromising the integrity of the trial? One solution is to utilize a sophisticated computer system that can provide the security and necessary firewalls to ensure that interim data is only accessible to those it is intended for, that the rules and processes outlined in the protocol and DMC charter are enforced, and that communication between the DMC and sponsor is effectively facilitated while protecting the integrity of the trial and preventing the introduction of operational bias.

    in collaboration with London, 29 March 2010 Doc Ref. EMA/779520/2009 EMA/EFPIA 2nd WORKSHOP Adaptive Design in Confirmatory Trials 2nd April 2009, European Medicines Agency, Canary Wharf, London Abstract In April 2009 the EMA/EFPIA held their 2nd workshop on adaptive designs. The objective was to illustrate the application of “Good Adaptive Practices” through presentations and discussions of case studies. The focus was on adaptive designs in confirmatory trials, including seamless adaptive Phase II/III trials. The Workshop was co-chaired by Prof. Bruno Flamion, Chair of the CHMP Scientific Advice Working Party (SAWP) and Dr. Solange Corriol- Rohou, Chair of the EFPIA efficacy ad-hoc group. The workshop was well attended (150 attendees) and there was a good level of informal dialogue between a wide range of experts including representatives from Regulatory Authorities (Europe and the US), Academia, Industry, and external organizations. Executive summary On April 2, 2009, EFPIA/EMA held their 2nd workshop on Adaptive Designs in Confirmatory Clinical Trials. The 1st workshop in December 20071 had provided an opportunity to introduce and discuss the EMA’s “Reflection Paper on Methodological Issues in Confirmatory Trials Planned with an Adaptive Design”2. Key outcomes and open questions were summarized by Prof. Bruno Flamion while Dr Solange Corriol-Rohou (AZ) briefly presented the expectations of the joint workshop: - Cost of R&D is a public health issue. There is growing patient pressure for early access to new drugs: interim analyses can be ethical or even mandatory. However, the cost of R&D and time savings per se cannot be the main rationale for using adaptive designs (AD).
