... Signal detection in central nervous system trials is regularly beset by high placebo or nonspecific response, intrasubject variability of endpoints, intersubject and intersite variability in multicenter trials, poor treatment adherence, and weak patient engagement and retention. The net effect of these challenges has been to simply increase the trial sample size in an attempt to control type II error.

... in neuroscience clinical trials is needed. Given the current challenges in neuroscience clinical trials, this public workshop will bring together key stakeholders to discuss opportunities to improve the integrity, efficiency, and validity of clinical trials for nervous system disorders (focusing specifically on Phase II and Phase III trials)
