SUMMARY:Masterclass: Developing blood-based longitudinal studies in low-resource settings – the challenge and opportunity
DESCRIPTION:Professor Sarah Lewington\nSpeaker: Prof Sarah Lewington\nDate: Thursday 9 May 2024\nTime: 1:00–2:00pm\nVenue: Richard Doll Lecture Theatre\, Oxford or online \nRegistration: forms.office.com/e/VKvWER5Czy \nIn recent years\, there has been a growing recognition of the need for more large-scale\, blood-based (‘biobank’) studies in non-European populations\, to understand the lifestyle\, environmental and genetic risk factors for cause-specific mortality and morbidity in diverse populations. \nThis talk will focus on aspects of developing such studies in low-resource settings and give some preliminary findings. \nThis is the first in a series of ‘masterclass’ talks organised by the Oxford BRC Cardiovascular Medicine Theme.

SUMMARY:Tuberculosis: vaccines\, diagnostics and experience
DESCRIPTION:The University of Oxford is marking the 100th anniversary of the death of Franz Kafka with a programme of activities celebrating his works and enduring legacy. \nKafka died in 1924 of tuberculosis\, which remains one of the world’s deadliest infectious diseases\, not least because of the prevalence of drug-resistant strains of TB. Researchers at the University of Oxford\, supported by the NIHR Oxford Biomedical Research Centre (BRC)\, are tackling TB in a variety of ways\, from vaccines to more targeted treatments. \nJoin us for this exciting talk at the Weston Library looking at various aspects of tuberculosis and how Oxford is at the forefront of addressing this major global challenge. \nProfessor Helen McShane\, Deputy Head of the Medical Sciences Division and Director of the Oxford BRC\, has a wealth of experience in this field\, including developing revolutionary new TB candidate vaccines. \nDr Philip Fowler will explore the role of genetics in identifying TB strains and their resistance to antibiotics and so developing more effective treatments. \nAnd patient representative Amy will share her personal TB journey\, through the challenges of diagnosis and treatment. \nThis is a free event but has limited spaces\, please reserve your spot here

SUMMARY:NIHR Oxford BRC Statistics Hub Lunchtime Seminar: Trial designs for early phase trials
DESCRIPTION:This is the third in a series of eight lunchtime seminars organised by the NIHR Oxford BRC Statistics Hub. Each seminar is 20 minutes long followed by 10 minutes of Q&A\, and will be held via Microsoft Teams. These seminars are open to all in the University of Oxford and Oxford University Hospitals NHS Trust. \n  \nTrial designs for early phase trials \nAlexander Ooms\, OCTRU Senior Statistician \nWednesday 6th November 2024\, 1:00-1:30pm \nEarly phase clinical trials are critical for assessing the safety\, dosage\, and preliminary efficacy of new treatments. This seminar will outline some available designs in Phase I and Phase II settings. \nPhase I trials primarily focus on determining safe dosages and identifying side effects using broad categories of ‘rule-based’ or ‘model-based’ dose escalation methods. \nPhase II trials typically aim to give an early indication of treatment efficacy and further assess safety via single-arm or randomised controlled trials. Adaptive\, occasionally Bayesian\, designs are popular in the early phase setting and some examples of adaptive designs will be discussed. \nNo registration is required. \nClick here to join the session.

Each seminar is 20 minutes long followed by 10 minutes of Q&A\, and will be held via Microsoft Teams. These seminars are open to all in the University of Oxford and Oxford University Hospitals NHS Trust. \n \nWhat’s so great about RCTs? \nIoana Marian\, OCTRU Senior Statistician \nTuesday 3rd December 2024\, 1:00-1:30pm \nRandomised Controlled Trials (RCTs) are experiments that help establish which interventions (e.g. medical\, surgical\, or behavioural) are effective\, safe and can improve healthcare. Why RCTs are considered the ‘gold’ standard design for comparing medical treatments will be reviewed. The benefits of random allocation of treatments will be considered\, along with how to implement randomisation in practice. The importance of designing the study well and some of the common pitfalls to avoid will be presented in this session. \nNo registration is required. \nClick here to join the session.

SUMMARY:NIHR Oxford BRC Statistics Hub Lunchtime Seminar: Survival analysis techniques in clinical trials - from traditional methods to multi-state Markov modelling approaches
DESCRIPTION:This is the seventh in a series of eight lunchtime seminars organised by the NIHR Oxford BRC Statistics Hub. Each seminar is 20 minutes long followed by 10 minutes of Q&A\, and will be held via Microsoft Teams. These seminars are open to all in the University of Oxford and Oxford University Hospitals NHS Trust. \n \nSurvival analysis techniques in clinical trials – from traditional methods to multi-state Markov modelling approaches \nDr Clement Twumasi\, NDM Medical Statistician \nWednesday 5th March 2025\, 1:00-1:30pm \nThis talk explores the evolution of survival analysis techniques in clinical trials\, highlighting their crucial role in medical research. We will start with traditional methods like Kaplan-Meier estimates and Cox proportional hazards models\, foundational tools for analysing time-to-event data. The discussion will then advance to contemporary approaches\, focusing on time-homogeneous and inhomogeneous multi-state Markov models. These models offer a nuanced view of patient trajectories through different health states\, providing deeper insights into disease progression and treatment efficacy. Attendees will gain a good understanding of both conventional and cutting-edge techniques for time-to-event analysis\, enhancing their ability to design and interpret them in clinical trials \nNo registration is required. \nClick here to join the session.

SUMMARY:FREE Public Talk: Predicting heart attacks years before they happen
DESCRIPTION:Imagine if you could find out if you were likely to have a heart attack in ten years’ time. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSome 2.3 million people in the UK are living with coronary heart disease. Computed tomography (CT) heart scans are the recommended test for people with cardiac chest pain. These images assess narrowing and obstruction in the heart and blood vessels. But they fail to pick up half of the heart attacks that occur. \n\n\n\nResearch has shown that changes in the fatty tissue and increased inflammation around coronary vessels is linked to a higher risk of fatal heart attacks. \n\n\n\nIn this talk\, Clinical Research Fellow Kenneth Chan will explain how a new device developed in Oxford combines the CT scan with artificial intelligence to detect these biological processes –invisible to the human eye – that precede the narrowing of the arteries and cause heart attacks. \n\n\n\nThis CaRi-Heart device\, now successfully trialled in NHS hospitals\, promises to be a game-changer in our efforts to prevent cardiovascular disease. \n\n\n\nFREE entry\, no booking required. Refreshments at 5.40 for a 6pm start.

SUMMARY:NIHR Oxford BRC Statistics Hub Lunchtime Seminar: Multilevel modelling in clinical trials
DESCRIPTION:This is the final lunchtime seminar in a series of eight\, organised by the NIHR Oxford BRC Statistics Hub. Each seminar is 20 minutes long followed by 10 minutes of Q&A\, and will be held via Microsoft Teams. These seminars are open to all in the University of Oxford and Oxford University Hospitals NHS Trust. \n \nMultilevel modelling in clinical trials \nDr Daphne Kounali\, OCTRU Lead Statistician \nWednesday 9th April 2025\, 1:00-1:30pm \nA multilevel model is a statistical tool used to analyze data with a complex dependence structure\, such as when patients are nested within hospitals or when there are multiple levels of treatment providers and geographic locations. In this seminar\, I will define the different types of structures in clinical trials and discuss various applications of multilevel models\, including incorporating repeated measurements\, accounting for drop-out\, and addressing measurement error. I will demonstrate how realistic assumptions and focusing on structure can help understand contextual effects and heterogeneity in outcomes\, providing more precise estimates of treatment effects and predictions. \nNo registration is required. \nClick here to join the session.
