Analysis of Clinical Trials: Theory and Applications - Continuing Education - Course
ASA, Biopharmaceutical Section
Instructor(s): Devan V. Mehrotra, Merck Research Laboratories, Alexei A. Dmitrienko, Eli Lilly and Company, Keaven Anderson, Merck & Co., Inc.
This course will cover four important topics that statisticians and research scientists commonly face while conducting clinical research: analysis of stratified trials, analysis of time-to-event data, multiple comparisons and multiple endpoints, and interim analysis and interim data monitoring. Attendees will receive a well-balanced mix of theory and applications. We will present practical advice from experts and discuss regulatory considerations. The discussed statistical methods will be implemented primarily using SAS, but also, for group sequential design, R software. Clinical trial examples will be used to illustrate the statistical methods. This course is designed for statisticians working in the pharmaceutical or biotechnology industries and contract research organizations. It is equally beneficial to statisticians working in institutions that deliver health care and government branches that conduct health care-related research. Attendees are required to have basic knowledge of clinical trials. Familiarity with drug development is highly desirable, but not necessary. This course was taught at JSM from 2005-2008 and received the Excellence in Continuing Education Award in 2005.
