On Friday, October 2, Berry Consultants hosted its monthly FACTS webinar on SARS-COV-2 vaccine trials and opened it up to the broader public to attend.
Dr. Kert Viele of Berry Consultants presented on the recently released protocols for the SARS-COV-2 vaccine trials (from Pfizer, Moderna, AstraZeneca, and Janssen), focusing on both efficacy and safety questions. This included topics related to number of interims, interim timing, Bayesian vs Frequentist methods, and the information available for different safety questions. Dr. Viele's presentation slides can be found here.
The webinar was recorded and is available on Berry Consultants YouTube Channel located here.

Case Studies in using FACTS to design Clinical Trials: A two-arm study with adherence model driven effect size and irregular interim analyses
Using FACTS to design a two-arm study where differences in adherence between the arms drive the effect size. Uncertainty in the effect size prompted spacing the interims to correspond to different sample sizes resulting in irregular interim analyses. Using a uses a finite mixture model from previous data on the analysis endpoint to justify the irregular interims.
Case Studies in using FACTS to design Clinical Trials: A Seamless Phase 2/3 multiple endpoint diabetes trial
Is this the most complex and most successful trial ever designed and run? Looking at the AWARD 5 trial for what became Eli Lilly’s Trulicity drug. The drug used response adaptive randomization, longitudinal modelling, dose response modelling and a utility function combining 4 endpoints. The trial selected a successful dose and switched early from phase 2 to a successful phase 3.

Response Adaptive Randomization RAR in multi arm trials aiming to select the best
Looking at RAR with 3 aims: 1) A surprising amount of the literature considers just the two arm setting, when arguably the most interesting setting for this technique is the multi-arm one. 2) There have been a number of papers over the years critical of RAR and I’d like to add present some results in favour of RAR. 3)
