This course is designed for individuals working or intending to work in
the health services or related areas such as the pharmaceutical
industry.
Clinicians, policy makers and patients are increasingly demanding high
quality evidence to help with making decisions about health care. There
is a hierarchy of such evidence ranging from anecdote and observational
studies up to randomised controlled trials (RCTs). In these trials, the
effects of different treatments or other interventions are compared to
each other by giving the treatments to patients 'at random', thus
providing a 'fair' and unbiased comparison. RCTs provide much of the
evidence needed to register new drugs for use, but trials are also used
for comparing a wide range of non-drug treatments, such as medical
versus surgical managements for cancer. This course will provide an
introduction to the area of clinical trials, particularly phase III
trials, with more detailed coverage of some of the key issues to be
considered in their design, analysis and interpretation.
