Metrum Institute is offering a course entitled MI260: Bayesian Model-Based
Meta-Analysis to Support Decision Making in Drug Development at the College of
the Atlantic in Bar Harbor, ME on August 8-10, 2011. Please visit
http://training.metruminstitute.org to register.
Course Date(s): August 8-10, 2011
Course Description: MI260 provides an introduction to meta analysis concepts
and methods, with a strong focus on model-based meta-analysis of summary data
or a combination of summary and individual data from clinical trials to support
decision-making in clinical drug development. Upon completion of the course,
participants will be able to write a meta-analysis plan, design a model-based
meta-analysis of clinical trial data to address strategic decisions in a
clinical drug development program, and implement it using a Bayesian approach
executed with WinBUGS and R. Participants will also be able to construct a
model for the relationship between an efficacy- or safety-related clinical
outcome and independent variables such as dose, time and patient
characteristics by analysis of summary data from multiple studies, e.g.,
treatment means and standard deviations, and construct such a model by analysis
of a combination of summary and individual data, as well as execute and
interpret population simulations to support decision-making in clinical drug
development. Participants may apply the 3 credit hours from this course to the
Metrum Institute Certificate Program in Pharmacometrics.
Prerequisites: Experience with PK-PD modeling and some familiarity and hands-on
experience with nonlinear regression, mixed-effects modeling, Bayesian modeling
using WinBUGS, and use of R (or S-Plus). Applicable MI courses include: MI200,
MI205 and MI250, or contact us.
Computer Hardware/Software: This course requires a Windows computer with an
available USB 2.0 port. All required software used for hands-on examples will
be freeware/open-source software and simple instructions will be provided for
users to configure their computers before the course.
Location: College of the Atlantic, Bar Harbor, ME
Accommodations: Metrum Institute does not provide hotel accommodations for
students. All travel accommodations must be arranged independently.
