The RSS section on statistics and the law is organising a colloquium on the UK Civil Law approach to epidemiology and statistical evidence.

The Basel Biometric Society (BBS) and the European Federation of Statisticians in the Pharmaceutical Industry (EFSPI) are pleased to organize a European Scientific Meeting on this relevant topic.

RWE data are an increasingly valuable resource in drug development. One area where this data is being used regularly is in the generalisability of treatment comparisons. This event will focus on this topic and more specifically on new advances in indirect comparisons, generalizability approaches for clinical trial data into the real world setting and cross-design approaches combining observational and randomized data.

This is a 1-day course, aimed to introduce statistics to people who work on Clinical Trials, but who are not Statisticians. No previous knowledge of Statistics is assumed as we start right at the beginning with the basics. Many practical examples are given and the emphasis is on application and understanding rather than the equations and the technical background.

AIM: To describe the drug development process from research right through to research, toxicology, data management & role of the CRO, clinical trials, product development & manufacture and marketing.
