Clinical development has traditionally relied on large sample central limit theory in a frequentist framework. In fact, almost all the operational char- acteristics health regulatory agencies evaluate in a clinical trial design are the direct results of the framework. Recently, more genetically specific rare REGISTER EARLY diseases have been discovered and more specific treatments have been (May 1–31 for discounted rates) developed. With an increasing number of regulatory incentive programs, Use the form in the back of this many sponsors have started to invest in such treatments’ research. The guide or register online at landscape of drug development has been forced to adapt accordingly www.amstat.org/jsmregistration. with smaller and more specific patient population. Bayesian framework, which has been modernized with technology advancement over the last few decades, has a natural mechanism to leverage external data and built-in simulation infrastructure to handle more complicated models. Hence, it has been brought to the center stage in small-population clinical development. We will use case studies to illustrate how Bayesian statistics can be introduced to evaluate efficacy in a clinical trial. Advantage of the framework and caveats in trial designing will be discussed.
