Syllabus
  • Basic statistical terminology in clinical trials. Types of clinical trials: Phase I-IV trials, pilot studies, postmarketing research, bioequivalence studies. Statistics in clinical trials: Basic concepts, trial protocol, CRF, randomization, interim analysis, final report. Types of data in clinical trials: continuous variables, categorical variables, survival data. Hypotheses testing: Investigator's and statistical hypothesis, primary and secondary trial objectives. Effectiveness evaluation: Intention-to-treat and per-protocol analysis. Safety evaluation: analyses of adverse events, abnormal laboratory data. Trial Protocol: statistical part of trial protocol. Design of clinical trial: blindness, randomization, evaluation timing. Parametric evaluation of drug effectiveness and safety. CRF. Sample size optimization: methodology. Randomization: stratification, permutation, adaptive algorithms. Interim analysis. Final report. Interpretation of trial results. Publication of trial results. Sub-group analysis. Post-Hoc analysis. Analysis of prognostic factors. Metaanalysis. Bioequivalence studies: methodology. Data management in clinical trials. Guidelines and regulations. Good clinical practice. QA/QC. Electronic CRF.
