The agile approach to adaptive research: optimizing efficiency in clinical development

This book provides an industry-specific viewpoint that shows how technology, new processes, and improved decision-making on multiple levels combine to yield a substantial leap forward for the pharmaceutical industry. The book shows that the underlying problem for the drug industry is a productivity crisis thatmust be addressed through a modernization of clinical research. The book places adaptive research in historical context, explaining why it is an essential evolutionary step. By combining centuries-old intellectual foundations, recenttechnological advances, and modern management techniques, adaptive research preserves the integrity and validity of clinical research but dramatically improves efficiencya factor not considered by the researchers who developed current methods in the 1940s.
