About the Book

This text provides a solid understanding of the various statistical topics relevant to the design, monitoring, and analysis of a clinical trial. It covers basic experimental design, sample size, randomization procedures, interim and survival analyses, quality of life assessment, and longitudinal methods. The book describes all phases of a clinical trial and explores the advantages of and objections to the intent-to-treat principle as well as its implementation. With exercises at the end of most chapters, it also illustrates methods using examples with real data from a variety of disease areas, including heart and lung diseases, cancer, and AIDS.

Review :
... There is much good material in this book. The individual chapters are well written and cover the technical aspects as well. A major strength is the ordering of topics to follow the thought process used in the development and implementation of a protocol from defining the question to reporting results. There are careful discussions on fundamental principles and the pivotal role played by statistics is well brought out. ... there is much that practicing pharmaceutical statisticians will find useful in this book. They will find the coverage of fundamental principles useful and the technical content of the book a good reference source. ... -Pharmaceutical Statistics, 2010 ... fits the need for a contemporary text and handbook that is oriented toward the clinical trial statistician. I highly recommend it and look forward to using it as both a primary and supplemental text in our curriculum, as well as a research resource. -James J. Dignam, University of Chicago, JASA, March 2009 The (technical) statistical content is the main focus of the book and this is what helps it to stand apart from most others on clinical trials (even the more obviously statistically orientated ones). It takes the reader to quite a technical background that would serve him or her well if moving on to research problems in the various areas covered, yet does not lose sight of practical issues. ... For those of us with the interest (and need) to grapple with these more statistical issues, I wholeheartedly recommend it. -Biometrics, December 2008 ...The book is very well written and clear. ... the authors generally strike the right balance for the intended audience. The inclusion of many historically important as well as contemporary examples to illustrate various points throughout the text is a major strength, as is the inclusion of several modern topics not seen in other texts. As a basis for a course in clinical trials for graduate students in biostatistics, this book is outstanding. In addition, statisticians in the pharmaceutical industry, government, or academia ... will find this text extremely informative and useful." -Michael P. McDermott, University of Rochester Medical Center, Journal of Biopharmaceutical Statistics, 2008
