Talk:List of Guidances for Statistics in Regulatory Affairs

Welcome
Statisticians working in a regulated environment (e.g. the pharmaceutical and healthcare industry) are obliged to have a sound knowledge and understanding of the regulatory requirements that affect the design, conduct, analysis and reporting of their studies.

Regulatory guidance for the pharmaceutical and medical devices industry can be found at the international level (e.g. ICH), as well as at the regional/national level (e.g. EMA in Europe, NICE in UK, IQWiG in Germany, FDA in USA and PMDA in Japan). Furthermore, statistical regulatory guidance is found under general topics (e.g. Good Clinical Practice [ICH-E6]) and specific ones explicitly related to statistics (e.g. Statistical Principles for Clinical Trials [ICH-E9]) or not explicitly (e.g. Special Populations: Geriatrics [ICH-E7] or Clinical Trial Endpoints in Oncology [FDA]). This large volume and diversity of documents and information sources is subject to regular revisions. Hence, individual statisticians devote considerable time and effort to keep themselves adequately informed and educated about regulatory requirements.

The objective of this list is to initiate in Wikipedia a comprehensive source of references for statistical guidance documents and related articles that are relevant to regulatory affairs.

Content guidance
This section presents recommendations about the format that should be used to include a document references within this article. The easiest to add new references is to copy an paste any of the previous references already included. The references include de following syntax.


 * Bullet point
 * Title of the document
 * Reference
 * Specify between parenthesis the regulatory agency
 * And finally provide a brief summary about the guidance and why and statistician should know about the content.

Example:


 * CHMP/EWP/5872/03 Data monitoring committees (EMA) deals with independent data monitoring committees. It highlights the key issues involved when sponsors include data monitoring committees as a part of their trial management, and the involvement of all the members including statisticians.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask to any of the contributors by adding your comments on the the bottom of the talk page, on the section Open Discussion.
