A three-day workshop on dose-finding methodology for early phase clinical trials will be held 22-24 March at University of Reading.
The workshop will provide an intensive programme of talks from world experts on current trends in this research field, together with small-group discussions, where open problems can be addressed and progress made. Participants will be able to learn about state-of-the-art adaptive designs for early phase clinical trials and related ethical issues, exchange research ideas, establish collaborative research links and discuss how to implement the methodology in practice. The workshop is supported by the Medical Research Council.
