Statistical methods are a powerful tool used in clinical trials to assess whether the data support evidence of a treatment effect. It is therefore key that the results of any statistical analysis are interpreted correctly. However, understanding and interpreting statistical results can be challenging for non-statisticians. In this short course, participants will be introduced to common statistical methods applied to specific outcomes and their results. Some examples of potential statistical concepts to be covered include commonly seen hypothesis test, survival analyses, regression modelling, mixed models for repeated measures (MMRM), and adjusting for multiplicity. Important concepts such as p-values will be explained fully. Idealized examples as well as examples from publicly posted FDA reviews and results on clinicaltrials.gov will be used. Group discussions using example outputs (including examples from FDA reviews) will give participants the opportunity to apply their learning by critically evaluating statistical analysis approaches and interpreting statistical results, thus giving participants the tools necessary to effectively communicate with their colleagues involved in drug development.

Combination products are emerging as innovative medical products due to their contribution to advancing medical care and are thus expected to have major impact in the coming years. Future technologies are most appealing to patients with ongoing medical conditions that require consistent treatment with daily injections or weekly procedures and unmet medical needs. Overall, the successful development of combination products will require great collaboration within the industry to overcome regulatory, clinical, and technical challenges. Implementation of a strategy includes the compilation of the plans and/or documents pertaining to strategic partnerships, intellectual property (IP) initiatives, product development approaches, quality management systems (QMS) optimizations, and regulatory submission plans into the integrated regulatory strategy for the complete “asset” as the traditional “ways of working” and/or processes will be challenged when developing an innovative combination product. This short course will explore key challenges and opportunities, offering practical exercises and a structured framework for success. It will focus on mitigating regulatory risk(s) in submissions timeliness and addressing issues such as excessive queries from health authorities, additional testing needs, and delays that impact time to market.
