Currently at #EHA2025: @broeckelmann.bsky.social presenting our recent @thelancethaem.bsky.social commission on adverse events, starting with our paper (with @biostatgirl.bsky.social) on advancing the measurement & dissemination of AE data HT @eddiecliff.bsky.social #EHA25

What an incredible week in Casablanca, Morocco, for @ash.hematology.org Clinical Research Training Institute & Training Day, Mediterranean, Middle East, and Northern Africa. I’m so inspired by the growth of the trainees this week & I’m excited to see the future #hematology leaders they become! #CRTI

PRO-TECT trial of ePROs final results @biostatgirl.bsky.social
- 52 onc practices, randomized to weekly ePRO symptom surveys vs usual care
- no difference in OS
- 6% reduction in ER visits
- delayed deterioration of HRQOL w/ ePROs
Important for patients & health care system. #oncsky

Onsite retreat today - my fellow biostatisticians spelling out MAYO!

The fearless leaders of #SISAQOL: Anders Ingelgaard & Madeline Pe — thank you for your vision and work to enhance PRO statistical analysis for everyone!

Stakeholder panel at #SISAQOL. Interesting discussion about whether collection of PROs post-progression is feasible, how to make PROs less burdensome, & where to place PROs in the hierarchy of clinical trial endpoints. Universal agreement that SISAQOL moves the field forward!

Coming soon from #SISAQOL: guidebook, interactive table, glossary, patient material, and more! Will be posted on the SISAQOL website. www.sisaqol-imi.org

Coming soon from #SISAQOL for patient advocates & patient research partners: checklist for reviewing PRO measures in protocols, and checklist for reviewing visualizations in cancer clinical trials.

#SISAQOL developed recommendations on how to select a threshold for interpreting PROs and how to report that threshold.

Harmonized terms to replace the vague term “MID” from #SISAQOL! Need to be clear about whether you are talking about within-patient change (eg, responder analysis) or three group-level options (mean comparisons within or between groups - see slides).

Last two #SISAQOL #datadiz recommendations: indicate the directionality of PRO scores (what is good/bad, or what is improved/worsened) and use asterisks instead of p-values in graphs for audiences outside of the scientific community.

This #SISAQOL #dataviz recommendation gets a dedicated post. While I agree in general with including sample size, missing data, & incurrent event information on all graphs for clarity, three lines of text per arm may be infeasible for multi-arm trials and may be more readable in a standalone table.

Excited that #SISAQOL included recommendations about #dataviz for #patientreportedoutcomes! Graphs vary by audience consistent with prior literature. Include p-values for preplanned tests only, and use consistent y-axis scaling throughout your paper.

Next #SISAQOL turns to #patientreportedoutcomes in single-arm trials. PRO objectives should be clearly defined & can be descriptive (more common) or comparative to historical control data. Important to consider missing data & incurrent events as in randomized trials.

Next #SISAQOL highlights involve missing data. Need to separate missing data from intercurrent events, and recommendations reinforce using “completion rate” & “available data rate” - quit using “compliance rate” in your papers! Finally, avoid biased missing data approaches.

Diving into #SISAQOL recommendations. First highlights involve handling death or other intercurrent events. Basically there is no standard approach but need to be clear in the approach that you are using. Some new language here that many folks might not be familiar with…

Excited for a full day of new #SISAQOL recommendations for the statistical analysis of #patientreportedoutcomes in cancer clinical trials!

Please select the one emoji that best represents your feeling towards our research paper developing emoji scales for assessing #patientreportedoutcomes: 😩 ☹️ 😐 🙂 😄

Excited to see #PROCTCAE and #GP5 in the inavolisib label! Recurring points in the FDA discussion about needing dose optimization in early drug development to lower doses, maintain efficacy, and improve tolerability. Also comments about needing enrollment of diverse patients. #SABCS24

FDA panel on recent drug approvals in breast cancer at #SABCS24. Comparison of adjuvant CDK4/6 inhibitor trials, and lots of discussion about need for better dose optimization earlier in drug development.

Excited to share statistical design aspects that can improve patient experience! See everyone in San Antonio soon! #SABCS24

First ever statistician meet up at #ASH24! Appreciate that @ash-hematology.bsky.social is working to foster broader statistician engagement in the annual meeting and the broader hematology field. @susanmgeyer.bsky.social

Free multiple myeloma response criteria from the pee! Excellent #ASH24 presentation by @rahulbanerjeemd.bsky.social showing that removing 24-hr urine changes response for only 1.1% of 645 patients in the BMT CTN 0702 clinical trial.
