Description

When it comes to clinical trial design, there are many challenges to overcome, including recruitment, protocol design, and data analysis, among others. Fortunately, simulations can provide a solution to some of those challenges. Simulations allow researchers to test hypotheses, optimize designs, and understand probabilities of success before running the real-world experiment.

Together with Kim Hacquoil and Jamie Inshaw in this episode, we discuss the benefits of using simulations as a study design tool. Kim and Jamie suggest that simulations can be incredibly helpful at different stages of study design, including protocol development, sample size determination, and data analysis planning. By using simulations, researchers can optimize their designs, identify potential problems, and get a better understanding of the probabilities of success. 

If you're interested in mastering study design and strategy with simulations, this episode is perfect for you! So tune in now while we dive in to these important points:
