Title: Meta-Data and Software for Bayesian Emax Dose Response Models
Author(s): Neal Thomas*
Companies: Pfizer
Keywords: Bayesian; Emax; meta-data; R package
Abstract:

Meta-analyses and an R package for clinical dose response that support a Bayesian model-based approach to designs and analyses will be described. Meta-data from approximately 200 compounds will be briefly summarized. With few exceptions, the meta-data support the Emax model commonly recommended by clinical pharmacologists. Meta-analyses also yield an empirical basis for specifying prior distributions for the parameters in the difficult-to-estimate Emax model. We will conclude with an example utilizing the R package to demonstrate how the meta-analysis findings were applied to assess a proposed design for a recent study.
