A Bayesian adaptive feasibility design for rare diseases

It is important for researchers to carefully assess the feasibility of a clinical trial prior to 10-inch the launch of the study.One feasibility aspect that needs to be considered includes whether investigators can expect to successfully achieve the sample size needed for their trial.In this manuscript, we present a Bayesian design in which data co

The transcriptomic response of cells to a drug combination is more than the sum of the responses to the monotherapies

Our ability to discover effective drug combinations is limited, in part by insufficient understanding of how the transcriptional response of two monotherapies results in that of their combination.We analyzed matched time course RNAseq profiling of cells treated with single drugs and their combinations and found that the transcriptional signature of
