Adaptive Design And Health Economic Analysis: Interview With Laura Flight

Health economics and adaptive design methods share common ground in that they both aim to support more efficient and accurate decision making that can enable faster patient access to new health technologies. However, to date, there has been a limited understanding of how, if at all, the two approaches are being used together.

A paper, “A Review of Clinical Trials With an Adaptive Design and Health Economic Analysis,” exploring this important topic was published in the April 2019 issue of Value in Health (1) . In this blog, we catch up with Laura Flight, National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) Doctoral Fellow and the primary author of the paper for a deep dive into the objectives of the publication, key findings and the next steps for promoting better understanding in this area.
