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.

DESCRIPTION:This is the fourth 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 \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.

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.

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.

SUMMARY:Lunch and Learn: Equality Impact Assessment and Inclusive Research Design   
DESCRIPTION:With Stephanie Perrin\, Equality\, Diversity and Inclusion Officer\, Agile InitiativeAn Equality Impact Assessment (EIA) is a way to identify the possible impacts of a research project or decision. Researchers can use this tool to understand the effects of their work on trial participants or members of the research team\, based on their protected characteristics\, and mitigate potential negative impacts and promote positive ones. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCompleting an EIA helps ensure that research processes are fair and do not present barriers to participation. It is a great way for researchers to embed equality\, diversity and inclusion through all stages of their projects\, be it research design\, engagement or participant selection. \n\n\n\nIn this talk\, Stephanie will explain why EIAs are important\, how to use them and how you can apply them to your research to demonstrate how you have considered inclusion. There will be an opportunity to ask questions.  \n\n\n\n\nREGISTER HERE\n\n\n\n\nStephanie Perrin joined the Oxford Martin School in January 2023 as the Equality\, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) Officer for the Agile Initiative. She plays a key role in shaping and delivering plans to strengthen EDI across Agile’s research\, capacity development\, outreach and communications. This is the latest Oxford BRC EDI Lunch and Learn\, informal one-hour sessions where you can take away top tips from EDI experts on strengthening EDI initiatives and capabilities in your teams\, processes and research pathways.

SUMMARY:FREE Public Talk - Why are more younger people having strokes?
DESCRIPTION:Stroke is a leading cause of death and disability. It is often thought of as something that happens only at older ages. But more and more\, we see young adults in their 20s\, 30s\, 40s suffering from stroke. \n\n\n\nWhy is this happening? Are strokes really becoming more common at younger ages\, or are we just getting better at detecting them? More importantly\, what can we do to reduce the risk and improve prevention?  \n\n\n\nIn this talk\, Linxin Li\, a Clinical Research Fellow in the University of Oxford’s Nuffield Department of Clinical Neurosciences\, will explore the recent increase in strokes at younger ages\, discuss what might be driving it and assess if there is any easy solution in primary care. \n\n\n\nFREE entry\, no booking required. \n\n\n\nRefreshments from 5.40pm\, for a 6pm start.
