PLEASE REGISTER BEFORE FRIDAY NOVEMBER 16TH TO SECURE A PLACE
Phase I and Phase I/II dose finding studies: theory and applications
Presenters:
John O'Quigley, Université Pierre et Maire Curie-Paris VI, Paris, France.
Alexia Iasonos, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, New York, USA.
Ken Cheung, Columbia University, New York, USA
The course presenters have broad and varied experience in the area of early phase dose-finding studies. John O'Quigley has published extensively on the statistical methodology of different types of dose-finding designs. After many years experience as a statistician with Bristol Myers Squibb, Alexia Iasonos is now leading the implementation of innovative dose-finding designs at the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. Ken Cheung, author of the recent Chapman and Hall text 'Dose finding using the Continual Reassessment Method', has made significant contributions to the statistical literature on this topic. Ken has also overseen the design and analysis of many dose-finding studies in practice.
