Dear colleagues
This is a final reminder regarding the upcoming Adaptive Clinical Trial Design workshop on May 22.
Adaptive designs are reshaping the future of clinical trials-offering greater efficiency, flexibility, and ethical responsiveness. If you've been looking to deepen your understanding of these methods (or finally get some hands-on experience), this upcoming workshop is well worth your attention.
Join us for the 2026 SORA–TABA Annual Workshop, featuring Clement Ma, Scientific Head of the Biostatistics Core at CAMH and Assistant Professor at the Dalla Lana School of Public Health.
What makes this workshop stand out:
- A practical, applied introduction to adaptive clinical trial designs
- Coverage of key approaches including Bayesian dose-finding (CRM, BOIN), group sequential designs, and sample size re-estimation
- Hands-on experience using R packages and interactive Shiny tools
- Designed to be accessible-no advanced math or coding required
Whether you're a statistician, methodologist, or collaborator in clinical research, this workshop offers a valuable opportunity to connect modern methodology with real-world application.
Event Details:
- 📅 Friday, May 22, 2026
- 🕘 9:00 AM – 5:00 PM
- 📍 virtual attendance option still open (in-person registration closed)
This is an excellent opportunity for ASA members interested in clinical trials, Bayesian methods, or applied biostatistics to expand their toolkit and engage with current best practices.
