Description
This practical 2-day course is designed as an introduction to
the statistical principles which form the basis for the design
and analysis of clinical trials. It will concentrate on the critical
necessity of correct generation of data and understanding of
the statistical principles that are used on a day-to-day basis
in conducting clinical trials. Throughout the course, all that is
needed is no more than a distant memory of high-school
math. This will not be a series of lectures on statistical
formulae in a cookbook fashion, but instead focuses on
gaining an understanding of statistical principles and methods
useful in clinical trials.
This course introduces statistical concepts and analytical
methods as applied to data encountered in clinical trials. It
emphasizes the basic concepts appearing in clinical trial
protocols, such as data generation, quantitative analysis of
data, and statistical inferences. Topics include statistical
distributions; population parameters and their sample
estimates; descriptive statistics for central tendency and
dispersion; hypothesis testing and confidence intervals for
means and proportions; dose response; and multiplicity. The
course provides students a foundation to evaluate information
critical to support clinical development and product claims.
