Rezumat	An adaptive full factorial experiment is an experimental design that starts with a complete crossing of all factors and all their levels, then uses interim data to modify subsequent runs — dropping unpromising factor levels, adding new ones, or re-allocating replication — while preserving the full factorial structure within each phase. This integration of full factorial coverage with adaptive decision rules allows researchers to explore all main effects and interactions without committing to a fixed, inefficient run plan before any data are observed.	A factorial randomized controlled trial (factorial RCT) is an experimental design in which participants are randomly assigned to every possible combination of two or more independent factors (treatments or intervention components) simultaneously. This allows researchers to estimate the main effect of each factor and their interactions within a single, efficient trial, rather than running separate experiments for each factor.
