  A. Julious Steven is a Professor of Medical Statistics at The University 
 of Sheffield but through his career has worked in both the academic and ph
 armaceutical sector and is a former editor of the journal Pharmaceutical S
 tatistics.&nbsp\; He has an interest in applied methods for clinical trial
 s and has a particular interest in clinical study design and sample size e
 stimation.&nbsp\; He has written two books one on early phase trials and o
 ne on sample size estimation and has also developed an App called SampSize
  for the estimation of sample sizes. About the course: The three most impo
 rtant aspects of a clinical trial are: design\, design and design.&nbsp\; 
 A sample size estimate is just one aspect of a clinical study design.&nbsp
 \; The course describes calculations for sample size estimation in the des
 ign of clinical trials. It will be highlighted how the objectives of a cli
 nical trial will impact on sample size calculations. The course is a pract
 ical course and all methods will be illustrated with examples and case stu
 dies. \nThe following topics will be covered: Introduction to Key Concepts
 \n- Type I error\n- Type II error\n- Power Sample Sizes for Different Clin
 ical Trial Objectives - Superiority\n- Equivalence\n- Non-inferiority\n- P
 recision based\n- Bioequivalence\n- Pilot studies Sample Sizes for Differe
 nt Types of Data - Normal\n- Binary\n- Ordinal\n- Survival Clinical Trial 
 Designs - Cross-over\n- Parallel Group \nHow Design Considerations Impact 
 on the Sample Size - Baselines/covariates\n- Multiple endpoints Other Cons
 iderations when Designing a Trial - Sensitivity analysis\n- Optimising var
 iance estimates Considerations which Impact on the Sample Size - Adaptive 
 designs for efficacy\n- Assessing futility\n- Sample size-re-estimation Co
