Adaptive Trials Simulation Toolkit Addresses New Ways to Run Clinical Trials
Tessella (Newton, MA) Adaptive Trials Simulation Toolkit contains a range of adaptive clinical trial models for simulating different adaptive methods from Phase I through Phase III. The first release includes a NDLM dose finder and a Seamless Phase II/III Simulator.
Adaptive Trials Simulation Toolkit
The NDLM dose finder, specific to Phase II trials, simulates trials run using a Bayesian Model that is updated with response data as the trial runs. The NDLM is fitted to the response data and used to estimate whether any dose will fit the target criteria and which dose is most likely. It allows the model to recommend whether to continue the trial and which doses to favor in randomization.
Seamless Phase II/III Simulator offers an interim analysis between the two phases, where the treatment arms to be retained are selected and the sample size for the next phase calculated. This step saves time between Phase II and III, and allows for smaller Phase III trials.

July 11th 2025The FDA has granted orphan status to Arcus Biosciences’ CD73 inhibitor quemliclustat for metastatic pancreatic cancer, as the global PRISM-1 Phase III trial nears full enrollment following promising survival data from ARC-8.
QWINT-1 Trial: Once-Weekly Efsitora Matches Daily Glargine in Type 2 Diabetes Management
July 10th 2025Results from the Phase III QWINT-1 trial show that Eli Lilly’s once-weekly insulin efsitora is noninferior to once-daily glargine in reducing HbA1c among insulin-naïve adults with type 2 diabetes, offering a simplified fixed-dose regimen with fewer hypoglycemic events and less treatment burden.
