Analysis of Clinical Trials: Theory and Applications - Continuing Education - Course
Biopharmaceutical Section, ASA
Instructor(s): Christy Chuang-Stein, Pfizer Inc., Alex Dmitrienko, Eli Lilly and Company, Geert Molenberghs, Hasselt University
The course covers four important topics that commonly face statisticians and research scientists conducting clinical research. The 4 topics are analysis of stratified data, multiple comparisons and multiple endpoints, interim analysis and interim data monitoring, and analysis of incomplete data. The course offers a well-balanced mix of theory and applications. It presents practical advice from experts and discusses regulatory considerations. The discussed statistical methods will be implemented using the SAS software. Clinical trial examples will be used to illustrate the statistical methods. The course is designed for statisticians working in the pharmaceutical or biotechnology industries as well as 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. The 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 2005 and JSM 2006 and received the Excellence in Continuing Education Award in 2005. Recommended Textbook: Dmitrienko A, Molenberghs G, Chuang-Stein C, Offen W. (2005). Analysis of Clinical Trials Using SAS: A Practical Guide. SAS Publishing. ISBN: 978-1-59047-504-1
