Bayesian adaptive bandit-based designs using the Gittins index for multi-armed trials with normally distributed endpoints

Adaptive designs for multi-armed clinical trials have become increasingly popular recently because of their potential to shorten development times and to increase patient response. However, developing response-adaptive designs that offer patient-benefit while ensuring the resulting trial provides a...
