22.05.2023 at 4:15 p.m., TU Dortmund, CDI 120	Efficient Designs for toxicological experiments Weng Kee Wong, Professor at the Department of Biostatistics, University of California, Los Angeles I first discuss the importance and challenges in toxicology problems, which are increasingly pervasive in our daily lives. A main focus of the talk is how to implement more informative designs in the laboratory that will likely lead to more accurate statistical inference. Optimal experimental design theory and ideas will be used to construct model-based optimal designs for a variety of common nonlinear models used in toxicology and I will present efficient designs to estimate model parameters, or, one or more functions of the model parameters, including optimal designs to identify thresholds, detect presence of hormesis, and in identifying an adequate model among several postulated models. In addition, I will discuss metaheuristics as general optimization tools to find optimal designs for more complex problems and demonstrate how to them in web-based tools to find optimal designs. If time permits, I will also discuss one of my current work in toxicology that concerns Haber’s law.

23.01.2023 at 4:15 p.m., TU Dortmund, via Zoom	Novel clinical trial designs for precision oncology: Prof. Dr. Annette Kopp-Schneider, Deutsches Krebsforschungszentrum in der Helmholtz-Gemeinschaft, Heidelberg The aim of precision oncology is to provide a targeted therapy for each individual tumor. To reach this goal, it is necessary to identify in each patient actionable biomarkers and to determine a matched targeted therapy for the specific biomarker(s). Clinical trials are necessary to investigate whether the biomarker-treatment combination in fact has the desired effect. Due to the large number of possible biomarker-treatment combinations, and due to the small patient numbers matching such a combination, classical clinical phase III trials are not feasible in this situation. Precision oncology therefore requires the development of novel trials designs. We will discuss the concepts of basket, umbrella and platform designs for precision oncology and will present the challenges for the statistical analysis in these trial designs. Bayesian methods are naturally suited for precision oncology clinical trials as they allow for more flexible designs and they are suited for incorporation of external information and for borrowing of information between arms of clinical trials. We will discuss the use of Bayesian methods for clinical trials and present some current developments.
