WEBINAR OUTLINE
The aim of the webinar is to reflect on the importance to contextualise endpoints and objectives and the associated opportunities for clinical drug development. At the end of a trial it’s often just stated “The trial met it’s endpoint”. However, what about the primary objective of the trial? Are the results relevant for the stakeholders? Is a clear interpretation of the results possible?
The estimands framework as introduced in ICH E9 (R1) offers a systematic approach to design clinicals trials, which are better able to answer the clinical question ultimately leading to a higher probability of success. Potential solutions were presented and assessed.
