A<unk>  is a type of prospective, disease-focused, adaptive, randomized clinical trial (RCT) that compares multiple, simultaneous and possibly differently-timed interventions against a single, constant control group. As a disease-focused trial design (compared to an intervention-focused),<unk> s attempt to answer the question "which therapy will best treat this disease".<unk> s are unique in their utilization of both: a common control group and their opportunity to alter the therapies it investigates during its active enrollment phase.<unk> s commonly take advantage of Bayesian statistics, but may incorporate elements of frequentist statistics and/or machine learning.
