Title: Role of Computational Statistician in Clinical Trial Optimization
Author(s): Natalie Hall*+
Companies: Eli Lilly and Company
Keywords: Statistical Programming ; Statistical Analysis ; Trial Optimization ; Trial Simulation ; Adaptive Design
Abstract:

In the pharmaceutical industry, the use of innovative trial designs is increasing due to a need for more efficient, safer trials. Trial simulations need to be performed in order to compare different trial designs and ultimately identify the optimal design. The programming and post-processing of complex trial simulation code offer a unique opportunity for the computational statistician to be involved in the design stage of clinical trials. This talk will illustrate the skills and tools a computation statistician will use during the clinical trial optimization process.


Authors who are presenting talks have a * after their name.
