Response-adaptive randomization (RAR) dynamically adjusts the probability of assigning patients to different groups, optimizing treatment efficacy and participant welfare. It is particularly suitable for clinical studies involving multiple interventions or dose-finding and seamless phase II/III trials. This paper systematically introduces the concept, principles, and types of RAR, as well as its application in clinical trials (including traditional Chinese medicine research). It also provides R implementation code, offering researchers practical tools aimed at promoting the adoption of RAR in clinical practice.
