RALEIGH, N.C., May 20 /PRNewswire/ -- PRA International, a leading Clinical Research Organization, will host an audio conference on the current issues facing adaptive, single-arm and Phase I/II designs in oncology trials on 26 May 2010 at 11:30 a.m. (EDT). One of PRA’s oncology experts, John Constant, Ph.D., Vice President of Scientific Affairs, will be the presenter.
Dr. Constant will discuss how oncology trials continue to evolve and remain at the forefront of novel designs to handle cancer’s extreme needs and historically toxic or complex therapies. The audio conference will review recent developments and issues in adaptive and small, efficient oncology designs, including highlights from the FDA’s recently published draft guidance on this topic.
Dr. Constant has nearly 30 years of experience in applied statistics and pharmaceutical research. His oncology-specific experience encompasses design, analysis, reporting and regulatory agency representation and submissions in most major indications.
A recognized leader in oncology, hematology and supportive care, PRA has participated in more than 400 trials globally in every phase and virtually every oncology indication.
