Hi I recommend to start with
library(fortunes) fortune("surgery") Anyway, beside Introduction to R you could go through CRAN Task View: Design of Experiments (DoE) & Analysis of Experimental Data and specifically through Experimental designs for clinical trials This task view only covers specific design of experiments packages; there may be some grey areas. Please, also consult the ClinicalTrials task view. *experiment contains tools for clinical experiments, e.g., a randomization tool, and it provides a few special analysis options for clinical trials. *Package gsDesign implements group sequential designs, *Package gsbDesign evaluates operating characteristics for group sequential Bayesian designs, *package asd implements adaptive sequential designs. *Package TEQR provides toxicity equivalence range designs (Blanchard and Longmate 2010) for phase I clinical trials. *The DoseFinding package provides functions for the design and analysis of dose-finding experiments (for example pharmaceutical Phase II clinical trials); it combines the facilities of the "MCPMod" package (maintenance discontinued; described in Bornkamp, Pinheiro and Bretz 2009) with a special type of optimal designs for dose finding situations (MED-optimal designs, or D-optimal designs, or a mixture of both; cf., Dette et al. 2008) Which shall provide you with some insight.
