    Episode 5: CDISC Standards in Clinical Research

    In This QCast episode, join co-hosts Jullia and Tom as they unpack CDISC standards in clinical research, exploring the core content models from PRM to SEND, the exchange formats like ODM-XML and Define-XML, and how to streamline your trials with faster regulatory approvals, lower costs, and analytics-ready datasets. Key Takeaways CDISC standards are a unified set of content and exchange models for collecting, structuring, and submitting clinical trial data.Their core concepts include end-to-end traceability through CDASH, SDTM, and ADaM backed by controlled terminology.CDISC outperforms bespoke formats by cutting manual mapping, speeding regulatory review, and ensuring seamless interoperability.Successful implementation requires a gap audit, a pilot SDTM/ADaM mapping, validation tools, and team training.Common pitfalls include delaying terminology checks, underestimating Define-XML effort, and leaving legacy data unconverted. 🔗 Learn More & Get Support: Visit quanticate.com to explore our biometrics services and discover how we can support your next clinical trial. 📝 Episode Notes & Transcript: Find show notes, resources, and a full transcript at quanticate.com/podcast. 🔔 Stay Connected: Subscribe to QCast on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or your favourite platform to never miss an episode.

    Episode 4: BOIN Design in Clinical Trials

    In this QCast episode, join co-hosts Jullia and Tom as they unpack the Bayesian Optimal Interval, or BOIN, design for early-phase oncology studies. You'll hear how BOIN blends Bayesian reasoning with simple decision rules, why regulators now call it 'fit for purpose,' and how sponsors are using it to speed up dose-finding while keeping patient safety front and centre. Key Takeaways BOIN design is a model-assisted Bayesian dose-escalation method with pre-defined escalation, de-escalation and safety rules.Core concepts involve setting a target toxicity rate, calculating helper rates at 60% and 140%, deriving decision limits via Bayesian posteriors and including a 95% safety stop.Compared to the 3+3 method, BOIN locates the true MTD more accurately, allows flexible cohort sizes, and runs off a simple printed decision table.Operational essentials include embedding the decision table in your protocol, aligning toxicity assessment windows (or using time-to-event BOIN), training site teams with examples and running light simulations.Common pitfalls are choosing an unrealistic toxicity target, treating BOIN as 'set-and-forget,' and adding extensions without recalculating the decision boundaries. 🔗 Learn More & Get Support: Visit quanticate.com to explore our biometrics services and discover how we can support your next clinical trial. 📝 Episode Notes & Transcript: Find show notes, resources, and a full transcript at quanticate.com/podcast. 🔔 Stay Connected: Subscribe to QCast on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or your favourite platform to never miss an episode.
