 itions\, selecting the optimal treatment to patients with rheumatoid arthr
 itis is challenging. The current trial-and-error approach\, in which patie
 nts cycle through one of the many treatment options available until remiss
 ion\, leads to months or years of suboptimal disease control\, considerabl
 e loss to patient well-being\, and a burden on healthcare systems. Precisi
 on medicine\, in which patient's characteristics inform treatment decision
 s\, requires new approaches in clinical trial design and analysis. Existin
 g clinical trial designs generally focus on biomarkers which are categoriz
 ed into pre-specified subgroups\, such as sex\, and utilize a single model
  specification. Motivated by a trial studying available treatments in rheu
 matoid arthritis\, we utilize splines and Bayesian model averaging to flex
 ibly identify the region of a multi-dimensional biomarker space where trea
 tment is effective. We consider continuous biomarkers which may have a com
 plex relationship with the outcome of interest.\n\nSpeaker bio\n\nLara Mal
 eyeff is a postdoctoral fellow in biostatistics at McGill University\, joi
 ntly supervised by Drs. Shirin Golchi and Erica Moodie. She researches pre
 cision medicine strategies for clinical trials.\n
