You mean this paper?
Berry, Donald A. “Bayesian Statistics and the Efficiency and Ethics of Clinical Trials,” Statistical Science, Vol. 19, No. 1 (Feb., 2004), pp. 175-187
I haven't heard of it. But if you're seriously motivated to do things right and you're "mathematically mature", I would advise you to read Jaynes' book linked above. For me it was a huge eye opener. The screed of the Bayesians is "You don't need a separate statistics field! You just need the laws of probabilities, and that's enough to answer any question you want."
Let me know if you need help, my email is in my profile.
