Abstract:

Thorough evaluation of safety and efficacy has always been a key focus in the development of new pharmaceutical products. The predominant method for statistical evaluation and interpretation of safety and efficacy data collected in a clinical trial is a tabular display of descriptive and inferential statistics. There is a great opportunity to enhance evaluation of clinical trial data through the use of graphical displays, which can convey multiple pieces of information concisely and more effectively than can tables. Graphs can be used in an exploratory setting to help identify emerging safety signals, or in a confirmatory setting as a tool to elucidate the safety and efficacy of pharmaceutical product. We developed several graphical displays for routine data collected during a clinical trial, covering a broad range of graphical techniques.
