    Abstract "Bayesian adaptive designs provide a critical approach to improve the efficiency and success rate of drug development that has been embraced by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA). This is particularly important for early phase trials as they forms the basis for the development and success of subsequent phase II and III trials. The objective of this book is to describes the state-of-the-art model-assisted designs to faciliate and accelerate the use of novel adaptive designs for early phase clinical trials. Model-assisted designs possess avant-garde features where superiority meets simplicity. Model-assisted designs enjoy exceptional performance comparable to more complicated model-based adaptive designs, yet their decision rules often can be pre-tabulated and included in the protocol-making implementation as simple as conventional algorithm-based designs. An example is the Bayesian optimal interval (BOIN) design, the first dose-finding design to receive the fit-for-purpose designation from the FDA. This designation underscores the regulatory agency's support of the use of the novel adaptive design to improve drug development. Features Represents the first book to provide comprehensive coverage of model-assisted designs for various types of dose-finding and optimization clinical trials Describes the up-to-date theory and practice for model-assisted designs Presents many practical challenges and issues arising from early-phase clinical trials Illustrates with many real trial applications Offers numerous tips and guidance on designing dose finding and optimization trials Provides step-by-step illustration of using software to design trials Develops a companion website (www.trialdesign.org) to provide easy-to-use software to assist learning and implementing model-assisted designs Written by internationally recognized research leaders who pioneered model-assisted designs from the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, this book shows how model-assisted designs can greatly improve the efficiency and simplify the conduct of early-phase dose finding and optimization trials. It should therefore be a very useful practical reference for biostatisticians, clinicians working in clinical trials, and drug regulatory professionals, as well as graduate students of biostatistics. Novel model-assisted designs showcase the new KISS principle: Keep it simple and smart!"--

    Abstract Precalcaneal congenital fibrolipomatous hamartomas are rare benign lesions that present in infancy. Lesions typically appear as unilateral or bilateral skin-colored asymptomatic subcutaneous nodules on the precalcaneal plantar heel. Diagnosis is clinical, and operative intervention is not indicated unless lesions are symptomatic. We report two cases of subcutaneous plantar nodules diagnosed as precalcaneal congenital fibrolipomatous hamartomas. The aim is to raise awareness of this rare diagnosis and emphasize its benign nature and conservative management.

    Abstract Bayesian inference has become an attractive choice for scientists seeking to incorporate prior knowledge into their modeling framework. While the R community has been an important contributor in facilitating Bayesian statistical analyses, software to evaluate the impact of prior knowledge to such modeling framework has been lacking. In this article, we present BayesESS, a comprehensive, free, and open source R package for quantifying the impact of parametric priors in Bayesian analysis. We also introduce an accompanying web-based application for estimating and visualizing Bayesian effective sample size for purposes of conducting or planning Bayesian analyses.

    Abstract As the recognition of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) increases, and the prevalence estimates of ASD continue to rise throughout the world, it has become apparent that access to diagnostic and treatment services is highly dependent on geography. Even within countries such as the United States, which has received significant interest and investment in understanding, diagnosing, treating, and providing programs for those with ASD over the last 20+ years, access to information and services is uneven. In poorer countries such as the Dominican Republic (DR), where >40% of citizens live below the poverty level and access to quality healthcare overall continues to be a challenge, issues associated with ASD are not yet being adequately addressed. The objective of this review is to provide a realistic synopsis of the resources currently available to Dominicans who have a family member or loved one with ASD. We examine the challenges these families face in finding care, the stigma associated with ASD, and programs available for people with ASD. We conclude that while the DR is making progress in its efforts to address ASD, there is still much work to be done.

    Abstract Bayesian clinical trials are becoming popular owing to their adaptive, flexible, and versatile nature. Such trials typically require specification of the prior distribution and construction of the likelihood function; subsequently, inference is made on the basis of the posterior distribution. In comparison with frequentist trial designs, there are less established guidelines on how to report Bayesian trials. We provide a general overview on key components of the design, conduct, and analysis of Bayesian trials and elaborate on the reporting guidelines dos and don'ts.

    Abstract Machine learning models, particularly the black-box models, are widely favored for their outstanding predictive capabilities. However, they often face scrutiny and criticism due to the lack of interpretability. Paradoxically, their strong predictive capabilities suggest a deep understanding about the underlying data, implying significant potential for interpretation. Leveraging the emerging concept of knowledge distillation, we introduced the method of distillation decision tree (DDT). This method enables the distillation of knowledge about the data from a black-box model into a decision tree, thereby facilitating the interpretation of the black-box model. Constructed through the knowledge distillation process, the interpretability of DDT relies significantly on the stability of its structure. We establish the theoretical foundations for the structural stability of DDT, demonstrating that its structure can achieve stability under mild assumptions. Furthermore, we develop algorithms for efficient construction of (hybrid) DDTs. A comprehensive simulation study validates DDT's ability to provide accurate and reliable interpretations. Additionally, we explore potential application scenarios and provide corresponding case studies to illustrate how DDT can be applied to real-world problems.

    Abstract Bayesian adaptive randomization is a heuristic approach that aims to randomize more patients to the putatively superior arms based on the trend of the accrued data in a trial. Many statistical aspects of this approach have been explored and compared with other approaches; yet only a limited number of works has focused on improving its performance and providing guidance on its application to real trials. An undesirable property of this approach is that the procedure would randomize patients to an inferior arm in some circumstances, which has raised concerns in its application. Here, we propose an adaptive clip method to rectify the problem by incorporating a data-driven function to be used in conjunction with Bayesian adaptive randomization procedure. This function aims to minimize the chance of assigning patients to inferior arms during the early time of the trial. Moreover, we propose a utility approach to facilitate the selection of a randomization procedure. A cost that reflects the penalty of assigning patients to the inferior arm(s) in the trial is incorporated into our utility function along with all patients benefited from the trial, both within and beyond the trial. We illustrate the selection strategy for a wide range of scenarios.
