Date: Tuesday 14th & Wednesday 15th November 2023 Time: 09:00-17:00 each day Location:This Course will be taught in person, at De Morgan House, 57-58 Russell Square, London WC1B 4HS Speaker: Professor Steven A Julious (Section Director and NIHR Senior Investigator at The University of Sheffield.)
Who is this event intended for? Statisticians working in clinical trials looking to learn about sample size calculations for different types of trial outcomes and study objectives. What is the benefit of attending? The study is a practical course based on real world calculations where participants will be able to come away understanding how to calculate their own sample sizes depending on the type of clinical trial design. Participants will also be introduced to how some estimates used in the calculations are obtained. There will be an opportunity for attendees also to meet and network with other attendees across the industry.

Overview
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 highlight 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.
Agenda
There will be 4 sessions per day, each between 1.30-2.00 hours. A session will consist of both lectures and practicals, involving calculators or other calculation devices.
Day 1
After introductions the course will give a background to sample size calculations and then go on to cover sample sizes in superiority trials with Normal and binary data, ending the day with trials based on precision. Each lecture will be based on a hands on practical of the methods.
Day 2
The day will begin with sample sizes for cross-over trials followed by a practical which will also enforce the lessons from day 1. The course will then cover calculations for non-inferiority and equivalence trials as well as trials with ordinal data and trials with survival data. It will then move on to more advanced topics of sample sizes for pilot trials and the design of trials which will be adaptive, ending the day with further statistical considerations in the design of studies.

Biography
Steven A Julious, Professor of Medical Statistics, has over 30 years of applied experience in medical statistics in both industry and the academic setting with an interest in all aspects of clinical trials from molecule through to the marketplace. His main research focus is clinical trial design and the development of applied methods related to clinical trials. The methodologies around sample size estimation are a particular interest and as well as a book, the second edition of which has just been published, Steven has developed a mobile app for the calculations called SampSize.

Upcoming Events
PSI Introduction to Industry Training (ITIT) Course - 2025/2026
An introductory course giving an overview of the pharmaceutical industry and the drug development process as a whole, aimed at those with 1-3 years' experience. It comprises of six 2-day sessions covering a range of topics including Research and Development, Toxicology, Data Management and the Role of a CRO, Clinical Trials, Reimbursement, and Marketing.
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.
This is an interactive online training workshop providing an in-depth review of the estimand framework as laid out by ICH E9(R1) addendum with inputs from estimand experts, case studies, quizzes and opportunity for discussions. You will develop an estimand in a therapeutic area of interest to your company. In an online break-out room, you will join a series of team discussions to implement the estimand framework in a case study, aligning estimands, design, conduct, analysis, (assumptions + sensitivity analyses) to the clinical objective and therapeutic setting.
Maths Meets Medicine: Exploring Careers in the Pharmaceutical Industry
This session will showcase how careers in pharmaceutical statistics can be both rewarding and impactful, with a focus on how mathematics is integral to the development of medicines. Students will hear from industry experts, explore diverse career paths, and learn why continuing to study math is key to unlocking exciting opportunities in the healthcare sector.
Dissolution Testing: Time for Statistical (r)Evolution
Webinar dedicated to the topic of dissolution of oral solid dosage forms; opportunity to hear from statisticians working in the CMC field, with open question and answers.
In addition, the CMC Statistical Network Europe special interest group will discuss advocacy opportunities, have your say to contribute to the future direction.
Initially a brief introduction to AI will be given, followed by a presentation of various applications in medicinal product lifecycle. Several aspects will be discussed including performance, theoretical and practical conditions and also regulatory guidelines.
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.
This networking event is aimed at statisticians that are new to the pharmaceutical industry who wish to meet colleagues from different companies and backgrounds.
