SAS® Press announces Analysis of Clinical Trials Using SAS®: A Practical Guide

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.
