  focused on communicating data to a DMC. The goal of the session was to il
 lustrate difficulties a DMC may have with a report that is not fit for pur
 pose and discuss suggestions for improvements to DMC reports including new
 er technologies such as apps facilitating an in-depth interrogation of the
  data. Due to the interactive nature of this session\, we wanted to share 
 the slides with members for recapping the session.&nbsp\;\nTuesday 13th Ju
 ne\n\nThe session began with a lightning round of 5-minute talks from stat
 isticians with different specializations across the lifecycle. These short
  presentations\, where presenters clarify their roles\, set the scene. Par
 ticipants who joined the session then broke out and discussed case studies
  of &ldquo\;typical new products&rdquo\; intended to help identify and und
 erstand the challenges for statisticians from the different perspectives o
 f regulatory\, HTA\, and medical affairs.&nbsp\;\nWednesday 14th June\n\nE
 xperience is the name we give to our mistakes&rdquo\; (Oscar Wilde). Every
  child falls over before they learn to walk and yet in the workplace there
  remains fear of making an error. As statisticians\, we all understand tha
 t even the most stringent processes have a failure rate\, but despite this
 \, we often demand perfection from ourselves. Mistakes can range from the 
 trivial through to ones that cost a great deal in time and money. Experien
 ced pharmaceutical statisticians will share some mistakes made and more im
 portantly how to find solutions and share the lessons learnt. Our careers 
 grow from how we respond to problems and challenges. This growth is only p
 ossible if organisations create a culture where employees can openly share
  mistakes and raise concerns\; good managers create a healthy environment 
 for staff to thrive and develop\, and understand that fear of failure and 
 stress are barriers to progress.\n\n\nAdaptive designs offer many potentia
 l benefits throughout the clinical development process. However\, not all 
 of these benefits are accessible all of the time. One must use the right t
 rial design in the right context\, which requires careful reflection on th
 e trial&rsquo\;s aim. The intuition about when to use which method present
 s a barrier to implementation in practice with much of the knowledge locke
 d within the community already practising adaptive designs. In this sessio
 n\, we presented a series of examples and quizzes to help the audience dev
 elop their own intuition for adaptive designs. We focussed in particular o
 n group sequential designs that offer the opportunity for early stopping\,
  adaptive designs involving multiple hypothesis tests such as enrichment d
 esigns and seamless phase 2-3 designs\, and designs that incorporate respo
 nse adaptive randomisation.\n&nbsp\;
