Event Details

Overview

The use of Bayesian methods within clinical development has greatly increased in recent years. This is particularly true for earlier stage trials but they are also being used in later stage work. In this webinar, three different examples of where Bayesian methodology has been used within confirmatory settings will be provided. The examples describe:

  • A Bayesian framework used to incorporate several interim analyses to monitor the trial for efficacy and futility, while controlling the overall type 1 error.
  • Use of the meta-analytic-predictive prior methodology, interpreting study data in the context of trial external data while accounting for between-trial heterogeneity.
  • Incorporating a hybrid external control arm using Bayesian dynamic borrowing with propensity score matching.


Who is this event intended for? Statisticians in the pharmaceutical industry with an interest in Bayesian methodology.


What is the benefit of attending? Attendees will have the opportunity to learn about Bayesian methods and their application in later stage studies.


Please note: Due to unprecedented demand, access to the live session will operate on a first come, first serve basis - registration does not guarantee attendance for our most popular free events. If you are not able to gain entry to attend the webinar live, there will be a recording made available a week or two after the event. We thank you for your understanding, and for your interest in this topic!
