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.
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.
PSI Webinar: Applying the Estimand Framework to Clinical Pharmacology Trials with a Case Study in Bioequivalance
This will be a 45 minute webinar which will explain the topic presented in the published paper, ‘Applying the Estimand Framework to Clinical Pharmacology Trials with a Case Study in Bioequivalance’. There will be 15 minutes for a panel Q&A with some of the authors following the presentation.
PSI Webinar: Methodology and first results of the iRISE (improving Reproducibility In SciencE) consortium
This 1-hour webinar will be an opportunity to hear about the methodology and first results of the iRISE consortium. iRISE is working towards a better understanding of reproducibility and the interventions that work to improve it. At the end of the presentation there will also be the opportunity to ask questions.
One-day PSI/PHUSE Event: Change Management for Moving to R/Open-Source
This one-day event focuses on the comprehensive management of transitioning to R/Open-Source, addressing the challenges and providing actionable insights. Attendees will participate in sessions covering essential topics such as training best practices, creating strategic plans, making the case to senior management, and managing both statistical and programming aspects of the transition.
PSI Book Club - The Art of Explanation: How to Communicate with Clarity and Confidence
Develop your non-technical skills by reading The Art of Explanation by Ros Atkins and joining the Sept-Dec 2025 book club. You will be invited to join facilitated discussions of the concepts and ideas and apply skills from the book in-between sessions.
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.
This networking event is aimed at statisticians that are new to the pharmaceutical industry who wish to meet colleagues from different companies and backgrounds.
The program will feature insightful sessions led by distinguished invited speakers, alongside a poster session showcasing the latest advancements in the field. Further details will be provided.
