PSI Journal Club: Limitations and Challenges with Mixed Model Repeated Measures (MMRM) Analysis
Moses Mwangi and Florian Lasch present their recent work on MMRM, with discussion lead by Geert Molenberghs.
Tuesday 19th September 2017
2:00-3:00 pm (UK Time)
(Organised by the Toxicology Special Interest Group)
Presenter: David Lovell, St George’s Medical School, University of London
The bacterial reverse mutation assay (or the Ames test) has been in use in its present form for over 40 years. It is arguably the most successful in vitro test, used by hundreds of laboratories worldwide, on thousands of substances. The test aims to identify substances that can produce genetic damage and may lead to cancer in exposed individuals or to inherited mutation in offspring to cancer.
The design of the test is basically simple and numerous statistical tests have been proposed for the analysis of the data produced. Interpretation of the result aims at categorizing the chemical as either a genotoxin or a non-genotoxin. This provides an interesting example of the contrast between statistical significance and biological interpretation. Ames test results are also used in helping to develop in silico methods for predicting carcinogenicity.
This presentation will illustrate these issues and also discuss newer versions of the test and the continuing assessment of the role of the test in toxicology.

Our monthly webinar explores examples of innovative data visualisations relevant to our day to day work. Each month a new dataset is provided from a clinical trial or other relevant example, and participants are invited to submit a graphic that communicates interesting and relevant characteristics of the data.
Talks from speakers will cover an introduction to HTA and indirect comparisons for value assessment before focusing in more specifically on topics related to the use of indirect treatment comparisons for patient access.
Talks from the speakers will cover the use of R in a programming community, submitted to regulators using R, and also programming beyond R in C++ and Julia.
This course is aimed at clinical trial statisticians who are new to or with limited experience of machine learning. Attendees will learn about a range of topics in machine learning, including practical sessions in R.
This webinar will explore two different approaches to Correlates of Protection in vaccine development.
The event will open with an overview on drug development in women’s health from a clinician perspective. This talk is followed by talks about statistical challenges when planning IVF studies and analysing the menstrual cycles.
This webinar will provide an overview of surrogacy for licensing and reimbursement. In turn, the need of extensions of the SPIRIT and CONSORT statement will be defined and outlined, with case studies to support.
This networking event is aimed at statisticians that are new to the pharmaceutical industry who wish to meet colleagues from different companies and backgrounds.

An introductory course giving an overview of the pharmaceutical industry and the drug development process as a whole, aimed at those with 1-3 years' experience. It comprises of six 2-day sessions covering a range of topics including Research and Development, Toxicology, Data Management and the Role of a CRO, Clinical Trials, Reimbursement, and Marketing.
