Title: Statistics of Optimal Dosing
Content: Many statisticians feel that dose selection is very poorly
done.
This briefing will cover methods appropriate for establishing the
"optimal
dose". It will examine the problems of dosing and suggest practical
solutions. Dose assessment must be done correctly: if assessed
incorrectly
the cost project delay and extra costs can be very high.
Venue: Washington DC, USA

designed and data from them analyzed. Section 3.2 of the ICH guideline,

interpretation. The FDA provides specific guidelines for a strong
statistical basis for the design and analysis of clinical trials. Clare
Gnecco, Senior Biostatistician, CBER, US FDA will discuss along with
other
