Statistical Analysis of Medical Product Safety Data and Benefit-Risk Assessment (ADDED FEE) — Professional Development Continuing Education Course
ASA , Biopharmaceutical Section
Over the past decade there has been a greatly increased focus on the safety evaluation of medical products. Safety data are routinely collected throughout preclinical in-vitro and in-vivo experiments (e.g., living cells and animal models), clinical development (e.g., randomized clinical trials) and post-approval studies and monitoring. While the majority of clinical studies are designed to investigate the hypothesized efficacy of a compound, safety outcomes, on the other hand, are not generally defined a priori (with exceptions to be discussed in the short course). This brings a number of challenges to statisticians on how to best analyze the high-dimensional safety data, in order to detect safety signals earlier, and at the same time, reduce the rates of false signals and false non-signals. Depending on the questions of interest and the systems for collecting safety data, statistical methods applied to safety data analysis could differ dramatically. This one-day short course will present the commonly used, as well as the cutting-edge statistical methods that are tailored for specific objectives and data types for safety signal detection and benefit-risk assessment. Some frequently encountered issues and challenges in safety data analysis are discussed. Examples are given throughout the presentation of the statistical methods.
