IIT Support

We provide biostatistical leadership and analytic collaborative support to members of the Cancer Center for IITs. In general, IITs can be Phase I, Phase II or Phase III Trials and may be multi-site studies. Including a Biostatistician early on in your trial design will ensure a more efficient IIT development and approval process. When feasible, we advocate for the use of model based approaches like the CRM and its variations as well as model assisted designs such as the BOIN and keyboard approach in Phase I studies.

Have an idea for an IIT? Contact us and enjoy up to 10 hours of free consulting support to develop your idea through determining the primary endpoint, trial design options, safety monitoring, sample size calculations, and much more. We will assist you in writing a proposal to help secure funding to bring your idea to fruition.
