Simulation of Clinical Trials
Clinical trials are expensive. They are esssential for the development of medical drugs, equipment, and the procedures to prove their efficacy and safety. Clinical trials are expensive in terms of both time and money. Significant commercial advantage can be gained by companies who can make cuts in the time taken to plan, run and analyse the results of clinical trials. Simulation is a powerful tool which helps with the design of clinical trials to ensure that as much information as possible is gathered within a reasonable budget and timeframe, with minimum inconvenience and risk to patients. Simulation can be used to predict problems of management and analysis. every detail of protocol can be checked, such as patient selection, form design, data recording, data checking, analysis, interpretation and reporting. Costs of alternative designs and protocols can be compared. Differences in results and biases of estimation resulting from different designs and protocols can be compared. MetaGen is a suite of programs for the simulation of clinical trials. MetaGen enables you to you to develop and compare protocols for clinical trials to discover the best protocol for any situation in terms of scientific effectiveness as well as cost and effort by comparing their complexities, costs, powers and simulated data.
