Selecting a Biased-Coin Design
Biased-coin designs are used in clinical trials to allocate treatments with some randomness while maintaining approximately equal allocation. More recent rules are compared with Efron's [Biometrika 58 (1971) 403-417] biased-coin rule and extended to allow balance over covariates.

The EC90 of remifentanil for inhibiting endotracheal intubation responses under anesthesia induction with ciprofol: study protocol for a dose-finding trial with the biased-coin design [PDF]
Background Tracheal intubation may cause significant hemodynamic responses. Many drugs have been shown to be effective in modifying these cardiovascular responses, including remifentanil, fentanyl, sufentanil, and alfentanil. However, the 90% effect-site

Sequential Treatment Allocation Using Biased Coin Designs
SUMMARY Biased coin designs are used in clinical trials as a means of achieving approximate balance within a randomized design. In this paper, detailed results are obtained for a class of biased coin designs from the point of view of the degree of balance achieved, selection bias, accidental bias and inference following the randomized ...

Properties of Biased Coin Designs in Sequential Clinical Trials
Several authors have proposed and studied designs in a clinical trial experiment of testing treatments. For example \textit{B. Efron} [cf. Biometrika 58, 403-417 (1971; Zbl 0226.62086)] proposed and studied a sequential biased design for two treatments \(R=2\).
