Statistical methods and designs in clinical oncology

Clinical trials in oncology increasingly integrate biomarkers either at the design stage or at the time of analysis. During the last decade, statisticians have repeatedly demonstrated the risk of investigating biomarkers without adequate design and analyses tools. In addition to the false positive discovery rate that may be far beyond the pre-specified one, the treatment effect may not be homogeneous neither across strata nor over time. This stimulated development of new statistical methods to better estimate treatment effect, to increase the power, limit biases or to improve the report of effects.

Conditions d’inscription :

This symposium is open to statisicians interested in advanced methods for clinical research in oncology. Two main themes will be explored:

Design and analysis of survival data with non-proportional hazards
Designs with biomarkers

Registration is mandatory. The maximum number of attendees is 100. Free access is afforded to the students (but registration is mandatory). The registration fee is 50€ for academia and 120€ for members of pharma companies.

This fee includes the access to the symposium as well as the lunch.
