In modernen globalen Pharmaunternehmen wird es für Nicht-Statistiker immer wichtiger, den Wert und die Anwendung von Statistiken zu verstehen, um den Wert der Daten zu maximieren. Dieser Kurs richtet sich an Fachleute, die in der pharmazeutischen Industrie arbeiten und keine oder nur geringe Vorkenntnisse in Statistik haben, da wir gleich zu Beginn mit den Grundlagen beginnen.
It will be non-software focused, but rather understanding the basic statistical concepts, interpreting output and discussing how the knowledge can be applied and integrated efficiently into the job role.

COURSE OBJECTIVES

In diesem grundlegenden, aber weitreichenden Kurs werden Techniken zur Durchführung grundlegender statistischer Verfahren an Datensätzen behandelt, die für die Pharmaindustrie typisch sind. Es gibt viele grundlegende Konzepte, die verstanden werden müssen, bevor die Statistik ihr volles Potenzial nutzen kann, um nützliche und informative Antworten zu geben. Der Kurs stellt sicher, dass diese Konzepte auf nicht-technische Weise verstanden und dann anhand von Datenbeispielen demonstriert werden.

Mathematical details are kept to a necessary minimum and the focus is on interpretation of statistical output and illustrate applications with data from dummy clinical trials or published data. The objective of the course is not to teach how to become a statistician, but to help to work with statisticians, ask them the right questions and get the maximum value when reviewing statistical output.

The basics of statistics are presented to give background and a common base to start from and the applications and use of statistics in drug development is then discussed. The role of the statistician and their ability to help with decision making is also explained.

The following KEY TOPICS will be addressed:

Part 1 – The Basics

• Descriptive Statistics (Summary Measures of Location and Spread)
• Describing Variation (Standard Deviation & Standard Error)
• Presenting Results (p-values & Confidence Intervals)
• Visualisations for presentation and explanation
• Power and Sample Size (incl. Type I and Type II Error)

Part 2 – Design Issues

• Endpoints and Estimands
• Populations
• Avoiding Bias
• Crossovers vs Parallel Gp
• Equivalence & Non-Inferiority
• Multiplicity
• Missing Data
• Innovation & Latest Developments

WHO SHOULD ATTEND?

The course is aimed to introduce statistics to people who work on Clinical Trials, but who are not Statisticians or Professionals working in the Pharmaceutical Industry who wish to gain basic knowledge of the subject.

COURSE LEADER

Gemma Hodgson, MSc, CStat. has worked in the Pharmaceutical Industry for over 20 years. Gemma began her career at Pfizer working in global teams on major phase III projects. After 13 years at Pfizer working in phase I through to phase IV, Gemma moved to Takeda R&D in London, focusing on close liaison with other departments within the organisation.

LEARNING METHODOLOGIES

Es werden viele praktische Beispiele gegeben und der Schwerpunkt liegt auf der Anwendung und dem Verständnis und nicht auf den Gleichungen und dem technischen Hintergrund. Die Schulung ist so weit wie möglich interaktiv und wird informelle Übungen (mit Antworten!) und Diskussionen umfassen.
