ASA Biopharmaceutical Section: Workshops

Bayesian Clinical Trials
Scott Berry (Berry Consultants)
December 15, noon - 2:00 p.m. Eastern time
Registration Deadline: Thursday, December 10

This presentation focuses on the use of Bayesian statistics in clinical trials and biostatistics. I have spent the last 10 years consulting in the pharmaceutical and device industry, entirely doing Bayesian statistics. The advantages and challenges of bayesian statistics within the industry will be presented. The focus of the presentation is on the applications. Multiple real applications of using the Bayesian approach will be presented. These examples include dose-adaptive phase II studies, confirmatory studies using prediction and adaptive sample size, use of hierarchical models in meta-analysis and borrowing from subsets, and phase II/III seamless trials.

Registered attendees will be emailed the access information
for the webinar on Friday, December 11.

A webinar is a seminar which is conducted over the World Wide Web. It is a type of web conferencing. In contrast to a Webcast, which is transmission of information in one direction only, webinars are designed to be interactive between the presenter and audience. A webinar is 'live' in the sense that information is conveyed according to an agenda, with a starting and ending time. In the case of the Biopharmaceutical Section Webinar Series, the presenter speaks over a standard telephone line, pointing out information being presented on screen. The audience receives the audio of the presentation via telephone call-in number of audio streaming over the internet. The audience can respond via a chat feature. The word 'webinar' is a blend of web and seminar.
