Book excerpt: The only encyclopedia that specifically focuses on biopharmaceutical statistics, the 3rd Edition provides a well-balanced summary of current regulatory requirements, along with a comprehensive and unified presentation of designs and analyses used at different stages of biopharmaceutical and clinical research and development. This is the definitive statistical guide for the entire pipeline of drug/pharmaceutical product development: from non-clinical and pre-clinical assessments and manufacturing processes through to clinical trials, regulatory processes and postmarketing surveillence. Thoroughly exploring emerging technologies, concepts, and trends, this edition incorporates 89 brand new chapters on subjects such as biomarker development, target clinical trials and follow-on biologics. Previous contents of this title have been revised and updated, and cover topics ranging from in vitro bioequivalence testing and dissolution profile comparison to bridging studies, MedDRA, vaccine clinical trials and medical devices. The encyclopedia also includes popular topics that are currently under discussion within regulatory agencies and the pharmaceutical/biotech industry, such as pharmacoeconomics, reproducibility and probability in clinical research. Available in hard copy and online formats, this highly specialised book is a must-have resource for pharmaceutical R&D departments as well as for statisticians and researchers who work on clinical trials regulated by the FDA.
