Dear Markus,
There is a chapter on dose-finding in my book Statistical Issues in Drug
Development, Wiley 1997. that has some discussion of issues and references
to papers. I personally do not use SAD and MAD as terms and do not think
they are standard. I heard them used earlier in the week at the ECPM course
in Basle and if any of your colleagues were attending you might like to ask
them for notes.
Regards
Stephen
