How Sure Are You? A discussion with Prof. Steven Goodman on the epistemology of clinical research and DA

SDP Free Webinar
19 Jun, 2019 | 8:00 am PT / 11:00 am ET
Speaker: Steven Goodman, Associate Dean of Clinical and Translational Research and Professor of Medicine and of Health Research & Policy, Stanford University.
Moderator: WIlliam Leaf-Hermann, Senior Principal in Consulting Services, IQVIA.

Abstract:
The conclusions of clinical research are commonly reported with a “p-value” to help communicate the statistical significance of the results. However, the relationship between the p-value of a study which tests the efficacy of a new therapy and the likelihood that the therapy will provide benefit is frequently misunderstood. Concepts used in decision analysis, such as Bayesian analysis, may provide a more transparent interpretation of clinical research. A first step in helping drive adoption of such concepts is to understand the gulf between the DA community and the mindset of most clinical researchers and regulatory authorities.
