CARY, N.C. (April 2, 2005) - It is estimated that nearly 10,000 clinical studies are conducted every year around the world. While there are many useful texts that address the fundamental statistical and scientific principles underlying the design and analysis of clinical trials, researchers have few references available to them that address the problems commonly encountered in real-world clinical trials. Filled with examples from actual trials and case studies, Analysis of Clinical Trials Using SAS: A Practical Guide bridges that gap, offering SAS solutions that can be implemented quickly and efficiently. Topics reflect the International Conference on Harmonization (ICH) guidelines for the pharmaceutical industry.
Book reviewer Peter Westfall of Texas Tech University commends the methodologies illustrated in the book. "Because clinical trials are so highly regulated, some of the most rigorous and highly respected statistical tools are used in this arena. The methodologies covered in this book have applicability to the design and analysis of experiments well beyond clinical trials; researchers in all fields who carry out comparative studies would do well to have it on their bookshelves."
Clinical statisticians, research scientists, and graduate students in biostatistics will benefit greatly from the decades of clinical research experience compiled in this book, coauthored by industry leaders Alex Dmitrienko, Geert Molenberghs, Christy Chuang-Stein, and Walter Offen, and published by SAS Press.

Behind the Buzz: Why Clinical Research Leaders Flock to SCOPE Summit
February 7th 2025In this episode, we meet with Micah Lieberman, Executive Conference Director for SCOPE Summit (Summit for Clinical Ops Executives) at Cambridge Innovation Institute. We will dive deep into the critical role of collaboration within the clinical research ecosystem. How do we bring together diverse stakeholders—sponsors, CROs, clinical trial tech innovators, suppliers, patients, sites, advocacy organizations, investors, and non-profits—to share best practices in trial design, program planning, innovation, and clinical operations? We’ll explore why it’s vital for thought leaders to step beyond their own organizations and learn from others, exchanging ideas that drive advancements in clinical research. Additionally, we’ll discuss the pivotal role of scientific conferences like SCOPE Summit in fostering these essential connections and collaborations, helping shape the future of clinical trials. Join us as we uncover how collective wisdom and cross-industry partnerships are transforming the landscape of clinical research.
