Cancer patients experience different disease journeys and clinical trials need to account for this diversity as it leads to multiple possible ways of defining the treatment effect, i.e. the estimand of interest. In this session we will first discuss some estimand opportunities and challenges specific to oncology drug development. Then we will focus on a drug development setting where the clinical benefit of a gene therapy to treat Lymphoma is to be investigated. A panel of various stakeholders will share their views on clinically meaningful estimands and targeted designs for this setting.
Learning Objective : At the conclusion of this session, participants should be able to:- Appreciate the estimand challenges and opportunities arising in oncology drug development
- Appreciate that different stakeholders may have different views on clinically meaningful estimand
- Be better informed to apply the estimand framework to their own clinical investigations
