Final announcement & program Joint EFSPI / BBS Webinar: Estimands addendum is final: Anything new for oncology?
Date: Monday, 29th June 2020, 09:00-11:45
Webinar: dial-in details will be communicated to registered participants
After the publication of the final version of the ICH E9 addendum, the BBS jointly with EFSPI would like to offer a half-day webinar on the broad topic of estimands in oncology drug development.
The event will feature talks from statisticians and clinicians in industry, regulatory agencies, and academia.
Initially, this event was planned as a full-day seminar on the Novartis campus. Given the current COVID-19 situation we turn this event into a series of webinars.
