Innovative Statistics in Regulatory Science

<p>Statistical methods that are commonly used in the review and approval process of regulatory submissions are usually referred to as statistics in regulatory science or regulatory statistics. In a broader sense statistics in regulatory science can be defined as valid statistics that are employed in the review and approval process of regulatory submissions of pharmaceutical products. In addition statistics in regulatory science are involved with the development of regulatory policy guidance and regulatory critical clinical initiatives related research. This book is devoted to the discussion of statistics in regulatory science for pharmaceutical development. It covers practical issues that are commonly encountered in regulatory science of pharmaceutical research and development including topics related to research activities review of regulatory submissions recent critical clinical initiatives and policy/guidance development in regulatory science. </p><p></p><ul> <br><br><p></p> <li>Devoted entirely to discussing statistics in regulatory science for pharmaceutical development.</li> <br><br> <br><br><p></p> <li>Reviews critical issues (e.g. endpoint/margin selection and complex innovative design such as adaptive trial design) in the pharmaceutical development and regulatory approval process.</li> <br><br> <br><br><p></p> <li>Clarifies controversial statistical issues (e.g. hypothesis testing versus confidence interval approach missing data/estimands multiplicity and Bayesian design and approach) in review/approval of regulatory submissions.</li> <br><br> <br><br><p></p> <li>Proposes innovative thinking regarding study designs and statistical methods (e.g. n-of-1 trial design adaptive trial design and probability monitoring procedure for sample size) for rare disease drug development.</li> <br><br> <br><br><p></p> <li>Provides insight regarding current regulatory clinical initiatives (e.g. precision/personalized medicine biomarker-driven target clinical trials model informed drug development big data analytics and real world data/evidence).</li> <br><br> </ul><p></p><p>This book provides key statistical concepts innovative designs and analysis methods that are useful in regulatory science.
