Abstract
Adaptations Some of the methods used to adapt a clinical trial include: 1. Stopping one or more arms of a trial early for futility or efficacy and/or toxicity/safety; 2. Altering the allocation ratio, this could be based on information from responses or covariates, a. either by favouring better arms or b. dropping some arms completely; 3. Altering eligibility criteria; 4. Altering the size of the study; and 5. Altering primary endpoints.
