Time: 10:30 - 12:30 UK Time
Presenters: Mahesh Parmar (Medical Research Council), James Matcham (AstraZeneca) and Julia Saperia (Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency)
Trials designed to answer a range of questions, often incorporating multiple treatment arms are increasingly being considered in all phases of clinical research in both the pharmaceutical industry and public sector trials. A variety of terms including platform, umbrella and basket designs have been used to describe particular versions of this general framework. During this webinar a regulatory speaker will consider what is meant by the different terms and potential regulatory hurdles, while speakers from industry and the public sector will share their practical experiences of these types of trials.

There is real need to change how we do some of our clinical trials, as currently the testing and development process is too slow, too costly and too failure-prone. Ultimately, we often find that a new treatment is no better than the current standard. Much of the focus on the development and testing pathway has been in improving the design of phase I and II trials. In this presentation, we present examples of new methods for improving the design of phase III trials (and the necessary lead up to them) as they are the most time-consuming and expensive part of the pathway. Key to all these methods is the aim to test many treatments and/or pose many therapeutic questions within one protocol.

This webinar will explore two different approaches to Correlates of Protection in vaccine development.
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.
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.
Lea Vaas will present how replacement of concurrent control animals by Virtual Control Groups (VCGs) in systemic toxicity studies may help in contributing to the 3R's principle of animal experimentation: Reduce, Refine, Replace.
We will share a brief overview of what Mobilise D is and why it is an important step stone in the development of digital biomarkers, and how Mobilise D outputs can be relevant for you.
