Abstract

Response-adaptive designs have been extensively studied and used in clinical trials. However, there is a lack of a comprehensive study of response-adaptive designs that include covariates, despite their importance in clinical trials. Because the allocation scheme and the estimation of parameters are affected by both the responses and the covariates, covariate-adjusted response-adaptive (CARA) designs are very complex to formulate. In this paper, we overcome the technical hurdles and lay out a framework for general CARA designs for the allocation of subjects to K (≥ 2) treatments. The asymptotic properties are studied under certain widely satisfied conditions. The proposed CARA designs can be applied to generalized linear models. Two important special cases, the linear model and the logistic regression model, are considered in detail. © Institute of Mathematical Statistics, 2007.
