Clinical Trial Design Challenges in Mood Disorders

Langue : Anglais

Coordonnateurs : Tohen Mauricio, Bowden Charles, Nierenberg Andrew A., Geddes John

Couverture de l’ouvrage Clinical Trial Design Challenges in Mood Disorders
Poor clinical trial designs result in failed studies wasting research funds and limiting the advancement of cures for disorders. Clinical Trial Design Challenges in Mood Disorders outlines classic problems researchers face in designing clinical trials and discusses how best to address them for the most definitive and generalizable results. Traditional trial designs are included as well as novel analytic techniques. The book examines information on high placebo response, the generalizability of studies conducted in the developing world, the duration of maintenance studies, and the application of findings into clinical practice. With representation from contributors throughout the world and from academia, industry, regulatory agencies, and advocacy groups, this book will contribute toward improved clinical trial design and valid, precise, and reliable answers about what works better and faster for patients.
