Discuss PDUFA V Statistical Topics and
Emerging New Issues
Now in its seventh year, this unique forum continues the dialogue on issues including FDA guidance development and regulatory science initiatives including PDUFA V initiatives, as well as statistical opportunities and challenges associated with data standards and innovative approaches to the design, monitoring, analysis, and reporting of clinical trials and assessments of safety and effectiveness in the pre- and postmarket settings. Over the three days, in-depth discussions on key topics relevant to the evaluation of therapeutic products will take place, and include input from key thought leaders from regulatory agencies, industry, and academia.
With the success of last year’s forum we will continue to offer additional avenues for interaction and scientific discourse via a scientific poster session during the networking reception and an interactive round-table luncheon event.

Seventh Annual Drug Information Association/Food and Drug Administration Statistics Forum-2013; Public Conference

Action

Summary

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA), in cosponsorship with the Drug Information Association (DIA), is announcing a public conference entitled “Seventh Annual DIA/FDA Statistics Forum—2013.” The purpose of the conference is to discuss relevant statistical issues associated with the development and review of therapeutic drugs and biologics. This meeting is intended to be an open forum for the timely discussion of topics of mutual theoretical and practical interest to statisticians and clinical investigators who are involved in the development of new drugs and biologics. A primary focus for this meeting will be to establish an ongoing dialogue regarding FDA's “Critical Path” initiative—emphasizing the regulatory and statistical challenges associated with innovative approaches to the design and analysis of clinical trials data and measuring the progress being made in designing and implementing innovative solutions.
 
The public conference will be held on April 28, 2013, to May 1, 2013, from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m.
 
The public conference will be held at the Marriott Bethesda North Hotel and Conference Center, 5701 Marinelli Rd., Bethesda, MD 20852, 1-301-822-9200.
