Abstract:
In a short period of time, advances in genetics has allowed scientists to identify genes (biomarkers) that are linked with certain diseases. To translate these great scientific findings into real-world products for those who need them (personalized medicine), clinical trials play an essential and important role. Personalized medicine is an approach that will allow physicians to tailor a treatment regimen based on an individual patient’s characteristics (which could be biomarkers or other covariates). To develop personalized medicine, we need new designs for clinical trials so that genetics information and other biomarkers can be incorporated to assist in treatment selection. This talk concerns the designs of clinical trials and the corresponding statistical inference for personalized medicine. This talk first provides a brief review of design and statistical inference related with personalized medicine. New designs, new statistical techniques and some other statistical issues are also discussed.
