Adaptive Phase II Clinical Trial
An adaptive Phase II clinical trial is a prospective experimental design in which pre-specified rules allow the study protocol to be modified — such as dropping arms, adjusting sample size, or narrowing the patient population — based on accumulating interim data, without inflating the Type I error rate. The design is widely used in early-phase drug development to screen candidate doses or treatments efficiently while preserving statistical validity.
