October 25 2011 - Luncheon

Abstract: When comparing a new treatment with a control in a randomized clinical study, the treatment effect is generally assessed by evaluating a summary measure over a specific study population. The success of the trail heavily depends on the choice of such a population.

Lihui Zhao will show a systematic, effective way to identify a promising population, for which the new treatment is expected to have a desired benefit, using the data from a current study involving similar comparator treatments.
