Best of PSI 2019

The 2019 PSI Conference took place at the Queen Elizabeth II Centre (QEII), London, with the theme of “Data Driven Decision Making in Medical Research”.

The sessions included early phase innovative trial design, industry best practice, statistical issues in safety drug labelling, model-based dose-finding designs, an update from Transcelerate and much more.

In this series of interviews with the speakers at the conference, we talked about different topics:

• Visualization software
• Benefit risks approach
• Global statistical test for multiple endpoint analysis
• Estimands
• AE analysis using a volcano plot

I also talked to Rachel Phillips at the PSI conference. She is an NIHR doctoral research fellow at Imperial College London. Please help her with her study. It will help all of us in the end and you can win something!

This is a survey of clinical trial statisticians with experience of planning and performing final data analyses for pharmacological RCTs to explore their awareness of available statistical methods to flag adverse events as potential adverse drug reactions (ADRs) and identify any potential barriers to their use, as well as gain feedback on ideas for new statistical methods. They would like participants to provide their personal views. This study is being organised and sponsored by Imperial College London. This study is funded by the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR). The survey should take no longer than 10 minutes to complete and all participants will be entered into a prize draw to win a £50 Amazon voucher.
