PROGRAMME HIGHLIGHT: Everything Estimands

With the ICH E9 addendum due to be finalised this year, the topic of estimands are on the forefront of everyone’s minds. The Scientific Committee have already run a one day meeting this year on 'Estimands and the ICH Addendum', along with a one-day PSI training course taking place in May.  This year's PSI conference will also provide a number of sessions each focusing on estimands, as we have not just one but three sessions on estimands! Find out more about each of the sessions below...

Estimands in Oncology This session will focus on estimands in oncology, where James Roger will ask us if it is time to give up Cox proportional hazards in order to ensure we have a clinically interpretable estimand? Kaspar Rufibach will discuss the impact and opportunities that the estimand framework presents us, as discussed by the estimands in oncology working group, and Bjorn Bornkamp will talk about principal stratum strategy and situations where this could be of interest.

Estimands in Practice The second session will focus on estimands in practice. Alexander Schacht will discuss what he thinks are the neglected part of the estimands framework, and how we generalise study results to the population of interest. James Bell will present the concept of detailed clinical objectives as a means to engaging clinicians in estimand discussions, and Marian Mitroiu will question whether estimands are really just old wine in new barrels!

Implementing Composite and Principal-strata Estimands The final session will be presented by Michael O’Kelly (previous winner of the Stats Excellence in the Pharmaceutical Industry award) and Bohdana Ratitch, who will address implementing composite and principal-strata estimands. They will discuss some possible analysis methods for each type of estimand (evaluating the continuous measure and the occurrence of intercurrent event separately or as a combined endpoint), and will indicate how to implement them. They will also explore the many nuances of interpretation of these results via analyses of publicly available clinical data sets.

A Message from the Conference Chair As we work on some of the finer details of the conference (such as the food!), we will also soon have the big job of reading through all the poster abstracts which have been submitted. The posters will go on to form one of my favourite sessions of the conference, so register today to join me and the rest of the Scientific Committee! Kate Taylor Conference Chair
