Design and Analysis of Cross-Over Trials (eBook, PDF)

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

This third edition contains new chapters on re-estimating sample size when testing for average bioequivalence, fitting a nonlinear dose response function, estimating a dose to take forward from phase two to phase three, establishing proof of concept, and recalculating the sample size using conditional power. It employs the specially created R package Crossover, includes updates regarding period baselines and data analysis from very small trials, reflects the availability of new procedures in SAS, and presents proc mcmc as an alternative to WinBUGS for Bayesian analysis.

Byron Jones is a senior biometrical fellow and executive director in the Statistical Methodology Group at Novartis Pharmaceuticals. Previously he was a senior statistical consultant/senior director at Pfizer and a senior director and UK head of the Research Statistics Unit at GlaxoSmithKline. In addition to 14 years of experience in the pharmaceutical industry, he has 25 years of experience in academia, ultimately holding the position of professor of medical statistics at De Montfort University. Currently he is an honorary professor at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, visiting professor at University College London and at the University of Leicester, and a visiting professorial fellow at Queen Mary, University of London.

Michael G. Kenward is GlaxoSmithKline professor of biostatistics at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine. Previously he held positions at the Universities of Kent and Reading in the UK, and at research institutes in the UK, Iceland, and Finland. He has acted as a pharmaceutical industry consultant in biostatistics for more than 25 years. His research interests include the analysis of longitudinal data and cross-over trials, and modeling in biostatistics, with a particular interest in the problem of missing data. He has co-authored three textbooks and is well known for his 1994 Royal Statistical Society read paper on missing data.

Rezensionen

"Jones and Kenward added several valuable case studies to the third edition of their book. The case studies illustrate elegantly the applications of recent innovations in statistical methodologies to cross-over trials. The new edition is an excellent reference for scientists who want to understand cross-over trials or are interested in learning how statistical advancements in the last decade could be used to expand the versatility of cross-over trials."
-Christy Chuang-Stein, Ph.D., Vice President, Head of Statistical Research and Consulting Center, Pfizer Inc.

"As in the previous two editions, this edition offers a comprehensive coverage on the design and analysis of cross-over trials. With several major noteworthy updates, it will assist statisticians to conveniently tackle practical issues that arise in a cross-over trial... The most substantial update is the addition of seven new chapters (Chapters 8-14) in the form of short case studies. These real-world examples cover a wide range of issues and solutions above and beyond what is commonly encountered in a cross-over trial and significantly broaden the book...the third edition of Design and Analysis of Cross-Over Trials remains an outstanding reference for statisticians who work on cross-over trials, whether occasionally or frequently."
-Haiying Chen, Wake Forest School of Medicine, in Journal of the American Statistical Association, Volume 111, 2016

"Jones and Kenward present students, academics, and researchers with the third edition of their text, dedicated to an understanding of a comparative trait known as the cross-over trial, through which patients involved in a study received different sequences of treatments. New for the third edition, the text includes seven new chapters devoted to case studies, coverage of the R package Crossover, updates related to the use of period baselines and the analysis of very small trials, and a variety of other features."
-Ringgold, Inc. Book News, February 2015

Praise for the Second Edition:
"In the second edition, updated from the original published in 1989, the authors have added discussions of new, more comprehensive (downloadable) datasets and some additional topics. ... Substantially updated with more than 130 new references, the book has been thoroughly modernized to reflect new developments in this area. Among the new material added to the book is a chapter on bioequivalence and a discussion of new methods for longitudinal and categorical data. This book continues to be a recommended choice as a valuable reference for clinical statisticians and those who study medical trials where treatments through cross-over design are a feasible approach. For those who already own the first edition, updating to the second will help keep you current on recent developments in this area."
