METHODS OF FORECASTING ENROLLMENT RATE IN CLINICAL TRIAL

摘要

In one embodiment, the present invention provides a method and system of designing a clinical trial enrollment plan, comprising the use of non-linear regression analysis to model the relationship between a pair of clinical trial parameter, e.g., the relationship between N and GSER (Gross Site Enrollment Rate) and the relationship between N and CTER (clinical trial enrollment rate). The values of the other parameter of the pair can be extrapolated from said regression analysis, wherein said extrapolated values of the parameters are outputted as a design or plan product which will be used in clinical trial for improving the performance
