Do Bayesian Adaptive Trials Offer Advantages for CER?
The major goal of this project is to determine whether Bayesian adaptive designs currently in use for early phase clinical trials are suitable for pragmatic comparative effectiveness trials. The project will use simulation methods to reanalyze a large pragmatic controlled trial (ALLHAT) to determine whether Bayesian adaptive trial design and analysis would have reached different conclusions and/or have reached conclusions in a different timeframe. Personal role is to develop mixed treatment comparison models to synthesize evidence existing at the time
ALLHAT was conducted and develop informative priors for the adaptive design.

"American College of Radiology Imaging Network #6664: National CT Colonography Trial"
Computerized tomographic colonography (CTC) employs virtual reality technology to produce two- and three-dimensional images that permit a thorough and minimally invasive evaluation of the entire colorectal structure. The objective of this study is to clinically validate CTC for detecting colorectal neoplasia in a multicenter trial. Dr. Vanness’ role was to perform a timemotion study assessing the economic cost of CTC, to integrate trial results into existing colorectal cancer screening simulations as part of the CISNET collaborative and to extend existing simulations to incorporate unique features of screening with CTC.

"Cancer Patients' Preferences for Uncertain Outcomes"
10%
$74,539
Current guidelines for cancer treatment are based on average (mean or median) outcomes reported from clinical trials. However, the averaging process can mask substantial heterogeneity of treatment effects that may be important for patients making crucial decisions. The specific aims of this project are: 1) to derive and validate a model of patient preferences for different levels of treatment effect heterogeneity; 2) to characterize key treatment effects for older and younger cancer patients (e.g., chance of a cure); and 3) to develop and test scenarios that capture a broad range of preferences for treatment effects. Dr. Vanness’ role was to derive a simplyparameterized treatment effect heterogeneity preference system consistent with rank-dependent utility.
