Basket, Umbrella,
and Adaptive Designs
for Clinical Trials
Biomarker-driven clinical research can accelerate development timelines, but realizing the full extent of these efficiencies requires using advanced approaches such as basket, umbrella, and adaptive designs for clinical trials. At Precision, we’re built to handle biomarkers from the ground up and not only have the statistical sophistication to design and run an advanced trial, we have successful experience doing so.

Precision designs for efficient insight
Our experienced biostatistics team knows how to combine biomarker data with rigorous statistical approaches to design a clinical trial that maximizes both insight and efficiency. We will:
- Choose the right approach for your study, whether it’s a basket design, umbrella trial, or other advanced methodology and/or requires adaptive elements
- Build a trial design and statistical analysis plan that efficiently address your questions while minimizing type I errors
- Address clinical trial questions such as
- Safety
- Endpoints
- Dose finding
- Randomization
- Patient selection
- Histology-independent treatment response
- Imaging
Proactive planning to optimize the use of biomarkers in oncology clinical trials
Case Study: A “basket” trial and an accelerated pathway to proof of concept
Precision for Medicine had been working with a sponsor on a trial with an adaptive approach to exploring multiple tumor types concurrently as an accelerated pathway to proof-of-concept. However, the study had to overcome multiple challenges including a limited patient population (2% to 8% of all solid tumors), a biomarker approach that was not “standard of care” for all of the targeted cancers, and a complex patient screening process. In addition, the site study staff had to be able to handle highly technical genomic data.
Precision was able to design and implement a clinical trial for this study that has resulted in a total of 20 tumor-specific cohorts pursued and 7 treatment approaches eliminated. The trial continues to add cohorts and tumor-specific explorations, both as single and combination treatment approaches, and what started as 100 patients across 6 sites is now being
conducted at ~50 sites globally with 250+ patients enrolled.
Find out how Precision overcame these study challenges in the Case Study below.
