We focus on the design of multiarm multistage (MAMS) clinical trials, using ideas from simulation optimization, biostatistics, and health economics. From a trial design perspective, we build on the trend of comparing multiple treatments with a single control by allowing for more than two arms in a trial, and we allow for arbitrarily many stages of sampling by using a diffusion approximation that allows for adaptive stopping rules. From a simulation perspective, our techniques extend the correlated knowledge-gradient concept, which has been used in one-stage lookahead (knowledge gradient) procedures, to Bayesian fully sequential selection procedures. |
