Presented by Steven 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 pharmaceutical sector and is a former editor of the journal Pharmaceutical Statistics. He has an interest in applied methods for clinical trials and has a particular interest in clinical study design and sample size estimation. He has written two books one on early phase trials and one on sample size estimation and has also developed an App called SampSize for the estimation of sample sizes.
About the course: The three most important aspects of a clinical trial are: design, design and design. A sample size estimate is just one aspect of a clinical study design.
The course describes calculations for sample size estimation in the design of clinical trials. It will be highlighted how the objectives of a clinical trial will impact on sample size calculations. The course is a practical course and all methods will be illustrated with examples and case studies.
The following topics will be covered:
Introduction to Key Concepts
- Type I error
- Type II error
- Power
Sample Sizes for Different Clinical Trial Objectives - Superiority
- Equivalence
- Non-inferiority
- Precision based
- Bioequivalence
- Pilot studies
Sample Sizes for Different Types of Data - Normal
- Binary
- Ordinal
- Survival
Clinical Trial Designs - Cross-over
- Parallel Group
How Design Considerations Impact on the Sample Size - Baselines/covariates
- Multiple endpoints
Other Considerations when Designing a Trial - Sensitivity analysis
- Optimising variance estimates
Considerations which Impact on the Sample Size - Adaptive designs for efficacy

Joint PSI/EFSPI Visualisation SIG 'Wonderful Wednesday' Webinars
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.
Who is this event intended for? Statisticians with an interest understanding dose-finding in oncology.
What is the benefit of attending? Learn about the state of oncology dose finding, particularly in light of current FDA guidance.
PSI Book Club Webinar: Atomic Habits - The Science of Getting Your Act Together
The book club’s usual focus is to read and discuss professional development books. In this short format event you can more easily develop you career without the commitment of reading the whole book - simply listen to the 1-hour long podcast before joining the interactive session on 21 May.
PSI Webinar: Methods and tools integrating clinical trial evidence with historical or real-world data, Bayesian borrowing, and causal inference
This webinar is organised by the RWD SIG and the Historical Data SIG. We will review recent methods, applications, and tools of integrating subject-level-data from clinical trial with external data using Bayesian methods and/or causal inference methods.
This networking event is aimed at statisticians that are new to the pharmaceutical industry who wish to meet colleagues from different companies and backgrounds.
This course is aimed at biostatisticians with no or some pediatric drug development experience who are interested to further their understanding. We will give you an introduction to the pediatric drug development landscape. This will include identifying the key regulations and processes governing pediatric development, a discussion on the needs and challenges when conducting pediatric research and a focus on the ways to overcome these challenges from a statistical perspective.
