Statisticians in the Pharmaceutical Industry (PSI) are pleased to announce that registration for the 2016 Conference is now OPEN. Please visit our website http://www.psiweb.org/events/2016-conference to confirm your place now and take advantage of the discounted Early Bird Rate.
The conference will be held on 22nd- 25th May 2016 at the Pullman Hotel, Berlin and the theme will be “Promoting Statistical Insight and Collaboration in Drug Development”. Sessions will include an update on estimands, subgroups, dose exposure modelling, decision criteria, use of biomarkers in translational activities, clinical registries and many more with speakers from industry, academia and regulatory agencies. Keynote speakers include Dr Paul Wicks, Vice President of PatientsLikeMe and Prof. Dr. med. Stefan Lange, Deputy Director at IQWIG.
A draft agenda will be released later this year along with the 2016 Conference app. Please download the registration brochure from the website for more information about sessions, speakers and prices.
Due to popular demand, we’re also increasing the number of oral presentations from contributed abstracts. Please note the earlier deadlines:
Oral Abstract: 30th November 2015
Poster Abstract: 29th February 2016
We welcome abstracts on any subject but would be particularly interested in the following:
Bayesian topics within early or late phase
Challenges in small patient populations (including rare diseases and paediatrics)
Examples of clinical trial data transparency
The use of decision criteria in early phase development
Case studies involving dose exposure / dose response modelling
Topics relating to medical device trials
Novel designs
Examples using Risk Based Monitoring methods
Case studies involving translational research (biomarkers, genomics etc)
If you are a career young statistician (approximately less than 5 years working in the pharmaceutical industry) then there will be a dedicated contributed session for you. This is a great opportunity to gain experience in presenting in a friendly environment and to network with peers at other companies.
In order to submit an abstract, please go to http://www.psiweb.org/ and download a form, which must be completed and sent to [log in to unmask]. Successful applicants will be notified within one week following the deadline.
Finally, sponsorship and exhibition opportunities will be announced shortly. Should your company be interested please contact Nigel Howitt ([log in to unmask]) or Chris Watton on ([log in to unmask]).
