Study Stays <\/h2>
<\/div><\/div><\/div>
\n

The IDeAl project fosters the exchange between PhD students working in the IdeAl project and EAB members in order to combine innovative ideas with years of experience. These below standing study stays have already been conducted. The results obtained during the study stays and the newly developped ideas are still influencing the IDeAl research.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/p><\/div>

Study Stay of Gerald Hlavin to visit Frank Bretz<\/h3>
<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n

Gerald Hlavin from the Medical University Vienna the Statistical Methodology and Consulting group of Novartis in July 2015 (led by EAB member Frank Bretz). He worked together with Ekkehard Glimm on simulations regarding multiple comparisons. This was a valuable experience regarding the finishing of Deliverable 4.1. Gerald Hlavin also gave a talk on a new model regarding extrapolation of efficacy from adults to children and interesting ideas for future work were shared.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>

<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Kathrin M\u00f6llenhoff from Ruhr Universit\u00e4t Bochum visited EAB member Frank Bretz at Novartis in Basel, Switzerland, for a duration of six weeks in February\/March 2016. The aim was to write a paper together on assessing the similarity of dose response curves, which was nearly finished in these 6 weeks. During her time in Basel, she could get an impression of the possibilities to apply parts of her theoretical work of the last 2 years. She gave a talk at Novartis with an interesting discussion following afterwards, which offered a lot of new ideas for further work in Bochum and for a second stay at Novartis, scheduled for late summer this year.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>

Study Stay of Diane Uschner to visit William F. Rosenberger<\/h3>
<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n

Diane Uschner from Uniklinik RWTH Aachen University<\/a> visited EAB member Prof. William F. Rosenberger at George Mason Univerity (GMU) Fairfax, Virginia, USA, for a duration of five weeks in October 2015 in order to advance the research in randomization based inference (Deliverable 2.3). Special emphasis was given to the validity of randomization tests of response adaptive randomization procedures and to randomization tests in the presence of selection bias. She gave one talk at GMU and one at NIH, and is working on a paper to publish the research conducted at GMU.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>

<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n
<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Piotr Sobczyk from PW<\/a> visited EAB member Chiara Sabatti at Stanford, USA, and conducted research on FDR control in Genome-Wide Association Studies. Particularly, he created an R package geneSLOPE <\/a>for performing GWAS (available on CRAN<\/a>).<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>

Study Stay of Piotr Sobczyk to visit Sangkyun Lee <\/h3>
<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n

Piotr Sobczyk from PWR<\/a> visited dr Sangkyun Lee from Technische Universit\u00e4t Dortmund and conducted research on estimating graphical models. The new method that was developed during that visit can be used for e.g. clustering co-regulated genes.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>

Study Stay of Sergey Krasnozhon to visit Ralf-Dieter Hilgers<\/h3>
<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n
<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Sergey Krasnozhon together with Franz K\u00f6nig visited the Institute for Medical Statistics at the Uniklinikum Aachen for one week in May 2015. During the meeting, the results of a co-joint work on response-adaptive randomization procedures were presented and discussed, in particular on their use in clinical trials with the limited number of patients (Tasks 2.2 and 2.4 of WP2). Changes were proposed and further goals were identified. Preliminary results of the work were presented at the Workshop on Adaptive Designs and Multiple Comparison Procedures held in Cologne, Germany (June 24-26 2015).<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>

Study Stay of Sergey Krasnozhon to visit Gernot Wassmer<\/h3>
<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n

In the context of a Study stay, Sergey also visited ADDPLAN Inc, an ICON plc company in Cologne, Germany for two weeks in June\/ July 2015. The goal of this visit was to advance joint work on Adaptive MCP-Mod (Task 4.2 of WP4). As a result, the draft version of a paper on Adaptive MCP-Mod was corrected and changes were suggested.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>

Study Stay of Sebastian Jobj\u00f6rnsson to visit Paolo Pertile<\/h3>
<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n
<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Sebastian Jobj\u00f6rnsson from Chalmers University visited EAB member Paolo Pertile at the University of Verona, 15th-17th October 2014. Together with EAB member Martin Forster they worked on the article “Late-Stage Pharmaceutical R&D and Pricing Policies under Two-Stage Regulation” (not yet accepted), which applies Bayesian decision theory to optimisation of a drug application by a commercial sponsor. Based on this work, Sebastian gave a talk at the University of Kiel the 28th of May, 2015. The work was done as part of WP9.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>

Sebastian Jobj\u00f6rnsson from Chalmers University visited Franz K\u00f6nig, Martin Posch and Thomas Ondra at the Medical University of Vienna, 13th-17th of April, 2015. Together with Carl-Fredrik Burman and Nigel Stallard, they discussed a model for the optimisation of biomarker clinical trial designs. The aim is to publish a paper describing the model and the computational results. This work was done within WP9 and WP4.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>
