商品簡介
The theory is that if computer simulation and modelling could be used to construct a virtual clinical trial of drugs that incorporated all relevant influences controllable and uncontrollable, deterministic and stochastic and their related outcomes, researchers could explore how changes in the design of the trial influenced its performance, and select the design that would be most likely to produce the desired outcome. Scientists from pharmaceutical companies and some universities around the world describe the background and lay a foundation for simulation as a tool for designing clinical trials. They speak to researchers or practitioners involved in making decisions about the design, implementation, analysis, or regulation of clinical trials. Annotation c.
