"Preface In pharmaceutical/clinical development of a test drug or treatment, relevant clinical data are usually collected from subjects with the diseases under study in order to evaluate safety and efficacy of the test drug or treatment under investigation. To provide accurate and reliable assessment, well-controlled clinical trials under valid study design are necessarily conducted. Clinical trial process is a lengthy and costly process, which is necessary to ensure a fair and reliable assessment of thetest treatment under investigation. Clinical trial process consists of protocol development, trial conduct, data collection, statistical analysis/interpretation, and reporting. In practice, controversial issues evitably occur regardless the compliance ofgood statistical practice (GSP) and good clinical practice (GCP). Controversial issues in clinical trials are referred to as debatable issues that are commonly encountered during the conduct of clinical trials. In practice, controversial issues could be raised from, but are not limited to, (1) compromises between theoretical and real/common practices, (2) miscommunication and/or misunderstanding in perception/interpretation among regulatory agencies, clinical scientists, and biostatisticians, and (3) disagreement, inconsistency, miscommunication/misunderstanding, and errors in clinical practice.

Recenzijos

" it is very valuable that the book calls the readers attention to the numerous problems which are relevant every day and I recommend to make this book available to personnel in all biometrical university departments, CROs and operating departments in the pharmaceutical industry to enable them to cope with the most important controversial aspects in planning and execution of clinical studies." Rainer Muche, ISCB News, December 2013

"This volume deals with an important areaissues in clinical trials research which are perhaps not fully resolved. it is wide ranging, covering all aspects of clinical trials, and has excellent links and references to regulatory aspects. It will therefore provide a useful reference work for clinical trials researchers." David J. Hand, International Statistical Review, 2012

"I would recommend this book since it covers a number of areas that have not been covered in as much detail elsewhere. In particular, I thought the chapters on molecularly targeted therapies, follow-on biologics, multiregional clinical trials and good statistical practices were well written and useful." William Mietlowski, Journal of Biopharmaceutical Statistics, Issue 5, 2012

"Written by one of the preeminent experts in the field, this book provides a useful desk reference and state-of-the art examination of problematic issues in clinical trials for scientists in the pharmaceutical industry, medical/statistical reviewers in government regulatory agencies, and researchers and students in academia." Zentralblatt MATH
