Challenges in designing these studies include: selection of the dose
frequency and the dose range, choice of clinical endpoints or biomarkers,
and use of control(s), among others. Consequences of bad Phase II study
designs may lead to the delay of the entire clinical development program
or the waste of R&D investment. Misleading results obtained from poor
designs could cause a Phase III program to confirm a wrong set of doses,
or to stop developing a potentially useful drug. Therefore, it is
critical to consider an entire drug development plan, to make best use of
all the available information, and to include all relevant experts in
designing Phase II dose response clinical trials. This presentation
discusses some of these considerations.
