ACDRS Special Workshop Overview  Title: Substantial evidence in 21st century regulatory science: borrowing strength from accumulating data  Workshop held April 22, 2016  Link to workshop agenda and slides:  Intent was to open discussion on deriving substantial evidence of effectiveness based on a high probability of effectiveness, utilizing evidence from all reliable sources of effectiveness data (as opposed to traditional 2 studies at p<0.05)

ACDRS Workshop: Key Messages  Current paradigm not sustainable – innovative methods and designs must move forward to help us sustain  But we’ve been saying “Current paradigm is unsustainable” for several years -> so is this wrong or are we at a tipping point?  Also, several commented that in fact flexibility not as advertised – routinely need 2 trials at p<0.05

ACDRS Workshop: Key Messages (2)  Several hurdles remain, including broad misunderstanding of type 1 error control, definition of null space, role of simulations, etc.  Woodcock: Bayesian approaches need better explanation  Discussion about the role of formal utility functions, more holistic decision making.

ACDRS Workshop: Key Messages (3) BUT, there is also progress  CDER encouraging reviewers to be open about moving beyond the current approach, especially oncology, pediatric, rare diseases, antibiotics, antibacterial  CDER: 2013 snapshot, 8 Bayesian trials  CBER: , 4 Bayesian trials  Several presenters mentioned back to 2004 conference – while we are not where we need to be, significant progress has been made

ACDRS Workshop Discussion A Motivating Example: Bayesian Historical Data Borrowing

ACDRS Workshop: Discussion Questions

Vision for the future: What Can BSWG do?  Many of our activities/goals align with, support, and help move forward some of the points discussed  Opportunity to help change the conversation about the role of simulations in trial design and in demonstration of type 1 error control  We should coordinate and plan publications to refer back to workshop and also to workshop publication (TIRS) to come soon  In light of the ASA statement on the use of p-values, what role can Bayesian methods play in decision making?  Education outreach to medical  Education outreach to patient community  Other ideas?
