    Episode 4: BOIN Design in Clinical Trials

    In this QCast episode, join co-hosts Jullia and Tom as they unpack the Bayesian Optimal Interval, or BOIN, design for early-phase oncology studies. You'll hear how BOIN blends Bayesian reasoning with simple decision rules, why regulators now call it 'fit for purpose,' and how sponsors are using it to speed up dose-finding while keeping patient safety front and centre. Key Takeaways BOIN design is a model-assisted Bayesian dose-escalation method with pre-defined escalation, de-escalation and safety rules.Core concepts involve setting a target toxicity rate, calculating helper rates at 60% and 140%, deriving decision limits via Bayesian posteriors and including a 95% safety stop.Compared to the 3+3 method, BOIN locates the true MTD more accurately, allows flexible cohort sizes, and runs off a simple printed decision table.Operational essentials include embedding the decision table in your protocol, aligning toxicity assessment windows (or using time-to-event BOIN), training site teams with examples and running light simulations.Common pitfalls are choosing an unrealistic toxicity target, treating BOIN as 'set-and-forget,' and adding extensions without recalculating the decision boundaries. 🔗 Learn More & Get Support: Visit quanticate.com to explore our biometrics services and discover how we can support your next clinical trial. 📝 Episode Notes & Transcript: Find show notes, resources, and a full transcript at quanticate.com/podcast. 🔔 Stay Connected: Subscribe to QCast on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or your favourite platform to never miss an episode.

    Episode 3: Complex Innovative Trial Designs

    In this QCast episode, join Jullia and Tom as they unpack Complex Innovative Trial Designs (CIDs), exploring how adaptive and Bayesian methods – from response-adaptive randomisation to platform protocols – are transforming clinical research by boosting efficiency, personalisation, and speed. Key Takeaways What makes a trial 'complex and innovative': adaptive rules, Bayesian borrowing, and seamless master protocols.Four CID categories: traditional adaptive, biomarker-guided, Bayesian borrowing, and platform vaccine trials.How CIDs deliver faster timelines, smaller sample sizes, and more ethical patient allocation.Essential preparation tips and guidelines for successful implementation.Common pitfalls to avoid, including under-powered designs, data integrity issues, and mismatched external controls. 🔗 Learn More & Get Support: Visit quanticate.com to explore our biometrics services and discover how we can support your next clinical trial. 📝 Episode Notes & Transcript: Find show notes, resources, and a full transcript at quanticate.com/podcast. 🔔 Stay Connected: Subscribe to QCast on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or your favourite platform to never miss an episode.
