PROGRAMME HIGHLIGHT: Estimands
Estimands is a topic of ongoing interest and this year’s conference agenda reflects this. Find out more about each of the sessions below...
 
“Estimands: the journey continues... “ with the Estimands Implementation Working Group (EIWG). This session will include speakers from both industry and regulators and touch on specific strategies for intercurrent events e.g. composite, treatment policy, as well as realizing the benefits of estimands in terms of transparency in reporting and communication of trial results.
 
The Oncology Estimands SIG will run a session titled “Answers to old questions using the estimand framework” and will illustrate the power of the estimand framework in structuring and answering questions that have been relevant in oncology development for a long time. The session will report on results of various task forces of the oncology estimand working group and cover topics including: embedding standard oncology endpoints such as duration of response and time to response into the estimand framework; patient-reported outcomes; marginal versus conditional estimands; and biomarker subgroups.
 
There will also be two sessions based on contributed abstracts focusing on estimands in theory and estimand in practice where we can hear experiences from the wider statistical community.
 
Last, and by no means least, Sue McKendrick, Oliver Keene and David Wright from the EFPIA/EFSPI Estimand Implementation Working Group will lead an interactive and fun role play workshop on estimands. In the workshop different perspectives (patient, clinical, regulatory, health economist and statistician) will be explored to show how a multidisciplinary team can specify estimands in a realistic clinical setting.
 
As well as sessions during the main conference Dominic Magirr and Björn Bornkamp will present a pre-conference course on Estimand-aligned statistical analyses of clinical trials.

SPOTLIGHT ON: Gothenburg
This year’s PSI Conference will take place in Gothenburg in Sweden. If you have some time to spare during your stay take some time to explore this lovely city.

Gothenburg is the second largest city in Sweden and is located on the west coast of the country. As well as being located by the sea it is also surrounded by a lot of forests and lakes. 
There are plenty of things to do and the city is easy to get around with well-connected public transport. One of the most visited amusements parks in Scandinavia, Liseberg, is located across the street from the Gothia Towers conference venue. It has 42 rides and attractions for all ages.

If your interests are more cultural Gothenburg has many museums including a museum of art, the maritime museum and the Universeum, a public science centre and museum that includes a rainforest.

Gothenburg offers a variety of parks and natural attractions. One of the biggest and most popular parks is Slottskogen. Easy to reach by tram, Slottskogen is a perfect place for strolls and recreational activities. The park also has a zoo area that is free for everyone. Gothenburg also has a large botanical garden. On the outskirts of the city are the Delsjön and Sisjön lakes.
