Title: Patient-Centric Clinical Trial Design Abstract: Clinical trials are critical for advancing medical knowledge about the safety and efficacy of new drugs and treatments. However, traditional clinical trial designs have often prioritized the research objectives of investigators, with limited consideration of patient behavior in both enrollment and treatment selection. This seminar will present a series of Bayesian dynamic programming techniques developed to provide a more comprehensive understanding of patient decision-making processes. By conducting a retrospective analysis of early-stage clinical trial data, we aim to explain and interpret real-world patient behavior and its implications for trial design. This seminar is tailored for researchers and professionals engaged in healthcare decision-making and seeks to promote collaboration in future clinical research. We look forward to seeing you at this upcoming seminar! The value of the seminar for all attendees is increased by interdisciplinary participation, so please attend presentations from outside your field.
