Abstract:

Most, if not all, clinical and nonclinical longitudinal studies are subject to incompleteness. In a biopharmaceutical context, a lot of relatively simple methods for dealing with such incomplete data have been in use. On the other hand, ever more advanced methods for handling incomplete longitudinal studies are proposed by the research community. Regulatory authority-based, biopharmaceutical, and academic researchers need to work together to bridge this gap and move on. What would be viable strategies to achieve this goal?
