Dear Colleague,

I am pleased to inform you that the 6th edition of the European Statistical Forum will be held in Vienna on Monday, 16th November

The sixth edition of the European Statistical Forum is dedicated to the application of statistical methodology in early drug development, focusing in particular on:

• Current state-of-the art dose finding trial designs like MCPMod
• Statistical techniques on the integration of biomarker as well as pharmacogenetic data into the early drug development process
• Implementation of efficient Proof of Principle and Proof of Concept trials
• Transfer of the preclinical knowledge into first in human trials
• New developments in and designs for PK and PK/PD trials
• Recent enhancements in statistical methodology by leaders in academia

Both case studies and methodological background will be covered. The conference aims at promoting the exchange of expertise, bringing together statisticians, pharmacometricians, physicians, regulators, academia and other experts interested in the field of early drug development.

An advanced-draft agenda is now available. The Scientific Board, Jens-Otto Andreas (Head EU Biostatistics at UCB Biosciences GmbH), Lisa Comarella (Director Biostatistics and Senior Project Manager at CROS NT Group), Frank Fleischer (Global BCA at Boehringer Ingelheim Pharma GmbH & Co.
