Abstract:

Recent events have put a spotlight on the evaluation of safety data from pharmaceutical industry clinical trials. The evaluation of safety information from clinical trials has always been challenging for a number of reasons. These include the frequent lack of prespecified hypotheses, making it extremely difficult to distinguish true safety signals from spurious ones, and the fact that some events are quite rare and can only be detected in large trials of long duration. In this presentation we will discuss some proposals for addressing these problems through improved visualization tools.
