Abstract of Talk 


Analysis of Clinical Trials Using SAS: A Practical Guide 
(a new book by A. Dmitrienko, G. Molenberghs, C. Chuang-Stein and W. 
Offen) 
Alex Dmitrienko, PhD 
Principal Research Scientist, Eli Lilly and Company



This talk will introduce a recently published biostatistical book written 
by
A. Dmitrienko (Lilly), G. Molenberghs (Limburgs Universitair Centrum,
Belgium), C. Chuang-Stein (Pfizer) and W. Offen (Lilly). This book focuses
on key problems arising in the context of clinical trials and medical
research in general, including analysis of stratified data, multiple
comparisons, interim safety and efficacy monitoring, analysis of 
incomplete
data and analysis of safety and diagnostic measurements. The book 
discusses
solutions to these problems based on modern statistical methods and 
reviews
SAS techniques that help clinical researchers efficiently and rapidly
implement these methods. 

To illustrate the methods discussed in the book, this talk describes 
methods
for addressing multiplicity issues arising in the analysis of clinical
trials with multiple primary and secondary objectives. Regulatory agencies
and pharmaceutical companies have long debated how to interpret 
significant
secondary findings and whether significant secondary findings can be
included in the product label. Efficient solutions for multiplicity 
problems
of this kind can be obtained using "gatekeeping strategies" when the 
primary
analyses are treated as gatekeepers and the secondary analyses are 
performed
only if one or more gatekeeper analyses have yielded a significant 
outcome.
Similar gatekeeping strategies can be used in dose-ranging trials. The
outlined gatekeeping strategies are illustrated using examples from 
pivotal
trials with multiple primary and secondary endpoints (trials in patients
with depression and acute lung injury) and dose-finding trials (trial in
patients with hypertension).
