    Sent on behalf of a section member who is having difficulty logging into ASA Community at the moment:

    Dear Stat Consulting Community

    I am thinking of purchasing the following book: “Practical Considerations for Adaptive Trial Design and Implementation” by Weili He, Jose Pinheiro and Olga Kuznetsova. 

    I haven’t seen any reviews for this book (published in 2014 by Springer), but the TOC looks quite promising. 

    I am a practicing biostatistician in the medical device industry looking for some clear and practical guidance on designing and implementing adaptive clinical studies. 

    Can anyone share their opinion of this book?

    Thank you!
