Multiple Testing Problems in Pharmaceutical Statistics

Multiple Testing Problems in Pharmaceutical Statistics

Useful Statistical Approaches for Addressing Multiplicity IssuesIncludes practical examples from recent trials Bringing together leading statisticians scientists and clinicians from the pharmaceutical industry academia and regulatory agencies Multiple Testing Problems in Pharmaceutical Statistics explores the rapidly growing area of multiple comparison research with an emphasis on pharmaceutical applications. In each chapter the expert contributors describe important multiplicity problems encountered in pre-clinical and clinical trial settings. The book begins with a broad introduction from a regulatory perspective to different types of multiplicity problems that commonly arise in confirmatory controlled clinical trials before giving an overview of the concepts principles and procedures of multiple testing. It then presents statistical methods for analyzing clinical dose response studies that compare several dose levels with a control as well as statistical methods for analyzing multiple endpoints in clinical trials. After covering gatekeeping procedures for testing hierarchically ordered hypotheses the book discusses statistical approaches for the design and analysis of adaptive designs and related confirmatory hypothesis testing problems. The final chapter focuses on the design of pharmacogenomic studies based on established statistical principles. It also describes the analysis of data collected in these studies taking into account the numerous multiplicity issues that occur.

Antimicrobials in Food

Antimicrobials in Food

Fifteen years have passed since the 3rd edition of Antimicrobials in Food was published. It was arguably considered the must-have reference for those needing information on chemical antimicrobials used in foods. In the years since the last edition the food industry has undergone radical transformations because of changes on several fronts. Reported consumer demands for the use of natural and clean-label antimicrobials have increased significantly. The discovery of new foodborne pathogen niches and potentially hazardous foods along with a critical need to reduce food spoilage waste has increased the need for suitable antimicrobial compounds or systems. Novel natural antimicrobials continue to be discovered and new research has been carried out on traditional compounds. These and other related issues led the editors to develop the 4th edition of Antimicrobials in Food. In the 4th edition the editors have compiled contemporary topics with information synthesized from internationally recognized authorities in their fields. In addition to updated information new chapters have been added in this latest release with content on the use of bacteriophages lauric arginate ester and various systems for antimicrobial encapsulation and delivery. Comprehensive revisions of landmark chapters in previous editions including naturally occurring antimicrobials from both animal and plant sources methods for determining antimicrobial activity new approaches to multifactorial food preservation or hurdle technology and mechanisms of action resistance and stress adaptation are included. Complementing these topics is new information on quantifying the capability of clean antimicrobials for food preservation when compared to traditional food preservatives and industry considerations when antimicrobials are evaluated for use in food manufacture. Features Covers all food antimicrobials natural and synthetic with the latest research on each type Contains 5 000+ references on every conceivable food antimicrobial Guides in the selection of appropriate additives for specific food products Includes innovations in antimicrobial delivery technologies and the use of multifactorial food preservation with antimicrobials
