R workshop - Follow up Q & A session
Indian Association for Statistics in Clinical Trials (IASCT) is pleased to announce a Q&A session on R, in follow-up to the R workshop from February 2020. This will be a short interactive meeting with the trainer, Mr. Deepayan Sarkar and the participants from the last R workshop, where he will be taking questions from the audience. In addition to the knowledge and skills acquired during the 2-day session in February, the participants would have engaged in hands-on experience within their respective organizations. With that in mind, this interaction will focus on sharing user experiences and getting the resolutions for their queries. Note: Minimum 10-15 participants are required to run a productive session. There is no registration fee for this event. Please indicate your interest by registering via the registration page. Registrations close by Thursday, 24th September.

R workshop
With the advancements in technology the industry is slowly moving towards newer and different programming languages and environments. R is one such language and environment that is slowly emerging as a tool of choice for statistical computing and graphics. Many companies are also considering R as an alternative tool that can be used for validation of statistical analysis and can also be used for clinical trials’ submission driven work. R is very similar to the S language that was developed by Bell Laboratories and is used by statisticians and programmers for Statistical Analysis and computing, owing to its wide array of available statistical techniques such as linear and nonlinear modelling, classical statistical tests, time-series analysis, classification, clustering, etc., and graphical techniques. R is used widely both in academia and industry, including the pharmaceutical industry. This workshop will help users to understand basics of R and at the end of the workshop, users will be able to appreciate the uses and versatility of R and how it can be used for statistical analysis in clinical trials.

Data Science at work: Stories from our consulting practice - An IASCT Social Event
The biopharmaceutical and healthcare industries now collect more data than ever before due to advances in the variety of information sources combined with the ability to store vast quantities of diverse data, but how do we make sense of it all? Sophisticated computational techniques have been developed to analyze data, but unlocking its full value requires gaining deep insights into the right questions. This talk will present a few case studies from the speaker's consulting practice and expertise in experimental design and data analytics, illustrating how answering the right questions matters most, and that statistical modeling techniques remain at the heart of data science. This session is the first Social Event being organized by IASCT and hosted by Cytel Statistical Software & Services Private Limited. This fast paced 45 minute talk session followed by a time of interaction is a great opportunity to network and connect with industry experts.

Deep dive into Regulatory submissions – role of Programmer / Statistician
Regulatory submissions are very important milestones for pharmaceutical organizations/sponsors post completion of analysis and reporting of any clinical trial that documents the safety and efficacy data of their new innovative medicinal products. In order to accelerate and shorten the time from lab to market and bring clinical benefits to patients faster, while ensuring patient safety and optimizing research investments, we require quality regulatory submissions. This would also speed up regulatory agencies’ review, evaluation and approval of new products. eCTD (electronic Common Technical Document) is a standard required format to submit all the clinical research and development data of a new investigational product to the Health Authorities. In addition to individual clinical study reports, sponsors require to pool safety and efficacy data from individual clinical studies, prepare, and submit Integrated Summary of Safety (ISS) and Integrated Summary of Efficacy (ISE) reports into CTD for product benefit-risk evaluation. After a regulatory submission, there are usually Health Authority Questions (HAQs) on data and sponsors may need to explore/investigate individual or pooled study data, reports and provide responses quickly back to the HA. After review of submitted dossier, the HA may decide to further evaluate the product through Advisory Committee (AdCom) meeting discussions before their decision on product approval. Sponsors may have to prepare additional exploratory analyses for any potential questions from the AdCom meetings. For any regulatory submission, statistical programmers and statisticians play key roles in the preparation of the submission deliverables and also planning and generating ISS/ISE reports, responding to HA questions and performing exploratory analyses for AdCom meetings. This workshop will aim to discuss various statistical activities required for regulatory submissions in multiple therapeutic/disease areas with case studies/examples, including roles and responsibilities of statisticians and statistical programmers. This will also delve into common challenges in planning and generating the reports including electronic submission requirement per CDISC compliance.

PSI Scientific Committee Webinar: Statistical Challenges in Analytical Comparability and Biosimilarity Assessment
This webinar will discuss statistical requirements for the assessment of analytical comparability and similarity assessments, for example between biosimilars and reference products or before and after manufacturing changes. This topic has been the subject of a recent EMA reflection paper and an EFSPI working group. New strategies are proposed as an alternative to mean comparisons and include the assessment of ranges, inferential approaches or the use of Bayesian methods.
