In today’s clinical trials, we are facing many new challenges. Many new designs of clinical trials have been proposed and studied to deal with these new problems in the past ten years. In this talk, we will discuss three types of designs: (i) Response-adaptive design, which uses accruing data to change treatment assignment sequentially for achieving some important objectives (efficient, ethical, cost and others) in clinical trials; (ii) Families of covariate-adaptive designs, which can be used to balance many important covariates; and (iii) a family of covariate-adaptive designs to balance continuous covariates. Some advantages of these three types of designs are discussed.
