خلاصه	An adaptive laboratory experiment is a controlled experimental design conducted in a laboratory setting where pre-specified decision rules allow modifications to the study — such as sample size, treatment allocation, or stopping criteria — based on accumulating data. Unlike fixed designs, adaptive designs incorporate planned interim analyses that permit the experiment to respond to emerging evidence while maintaining statistical validity and Type I error control.	An adaptive randomized controlled trial (adaptive RCT) is an experimental design in which pre-specified rules allow modifications to the trial while it is ongoing — such as changing allocation ratios, dropping underperforming arms, or stopping early for efficacy or futility — based on accumulating interim data. These adaptations are planned before the trial starts and governed by statistical rules to preserve Type I error control and validity.
