Interview: How can a Bayesian framework support benefit risk assessment?
May 30, 2017
A recent paper The case for Bayesian methods in benefit-risk assessment: Overview and future directions (1) co-authored by Cytel Senior Vice President Consulting Yannis Jemiai and published in Therapeutic Innovation and Regulatory Science, tackles the critical issue of benefit risk assessment, and the part Bayesian approaches can play in resolving their challenges.
There is certainly an industry- wide need for more transparent, targeted and robust benefit risk assessments. In this blog we talk with Yannis about the article and why the Bayesian framework is particularly well suited to these efforts.
