Adaptive Dose-Response Analysis
Adaptive dose-response analysis combines pre-specified dose-response modeling with planned interim looks that allow modifications — such as dropping ineffective doses or reallocating sample size — while maintaining statistical integrity. The most widely cited framework is MCP-Mod (Multiple Comparisons and Modeling), endorsed by the EMA and FDA as a fit-for-purpose methodology for dose-finding studies in drug development.
