Resum	Dose-Escalation Design, formalized as the Continual Reassessment Method (CRM), is a Bayesian adaptive algorithm for identifying the Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) in Phase I clinical trials. Introduced by John O'Quigley, Margaret Pepe, and Lloyd Fisher in 1990, CRM treats dose-toxicity response as a parametric curve, updates a prior probability model after each patient's outcome, and assigns subsequent patients to the dose currently estimated closest to a pre-specified target toxicity probability.	Sequential and group sequential trial designs allow a study to be stopped early — or continued — based on interim analyses conducted as data accumulate. The core framework was formalised by O'Brien and Fleming in 1979 and extended by Lan and DeMets's alpha-spending approach, and it controls the overall Type I error rate across all planned looks by pre-specifying both efficacy and futility boundaries before enrolment begins.
