Abstract:

Society is on the verge of advancing the practice of medicine to improve individual patient outcomes based on specific patient characteristics - whether they are genotypic or other biological markers or phenotypic information about the patient. To achieve this transformation in medicine, the statistics profession can be a key player in driving evidence-based medicine. In clinical drug development, there are many issues for design of clinical trials to "prove" the predictive ability of a particular patient characteristic, as well as issues related to exploratory analysis of patient sub-groups. Conversely, when safety is involved, under what circumstances should a safety signal be considered noteworthy versus spurious? This panel will be a Q&A session with a blend of pharmaceutical industry, regulatory and academic experts and leaders. There will also be time for audience participation.
