The paper to be presented appeared earlier this year in Pharmaceutical Statistics (Weber, Hemmings, Koch, 17, 329-341) and is motivated by the opportunities and challenges for using Bayesian methods with informative priors to support drug development and licencing when only a small pool of patients is available, as in the case of rare diseases and paediatric population. With a small study population, meeting the expected level of evidence required for regulatory approval can be challenging. The specific focus of the paper is on the use of data‐based priors in the decision-making process of paediatric extrapolation, and results are presented comparing different frequentist and Bayesian meta-analytic methods for combining adult and paediatric data.
In this webinar, the authors will present their paper, followed by discussion on:
- Scientific rationale for borrowing existing data to make inference about drug effects under different settings: rare diseases, extrapolation and use of historical controls.
- Other methods for combining historical and prospective data beyond standard meta-analytic approaches (e.g., robust MAP priors).
- Ways in which the Bayesian strategy could be supplemented or adapted to enable the independent contribution of the new trial data to be formally quantified and assessed.
We are pleased to announce that the meeting will be chaired by Byron Jones (Novartis)

Upcoming Events
Joint PSI/EFSPI Visualisation SIG 'Wonderful Wednesday' Webinars
Date: The Second Wednesday of every Month
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.
Date: Tuesday 10th December 2024
This networking event is aimed at statisticians that are new to the pharmaceutical industry who wish to meet colleagues from different companies and backgrounds.
Date: Thursday 12th December 2024
Chaired by Jenny Devenport, join us to hear Andy Grieve and Zhiwei Zhang discuss their recent work on group sequential designs.
PSI Introduction to Industry Training (ITIT) Course - 2024/2025
Date: October 2024 - July 2025
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.
PSI Training Course: Mixed Models and Repeated Measures
Dates:
Monday 3rd February 2025: 08:30-13:00 BST
Tuesday 4th February 2025: 08:30 - 13:00 BST
Wednesday 5th February 2025: 08:30 - 13:00 BST
Thursday 6th February 2025: 08:30 - 13:00 BST
This course is presented through lectures and practical sessions using SAS code. It is suitable for statisticians working on clinical trials, who already have a good understanding of linear and generalised linear models.
