Biostatistics Core

生物统计核心将为在胶质瘤孢子中进行的研究提供统计支持

The Biostatistics Core will provide statistical support for the research conducted in the Glioma SPORE program, including related database and computing requirements. The Core will provide consultation and expertise on the development and implementation of plans for data collection, particularly the coding convention and variable format required for statistical analysis. The Core will contribute to the data management plan, including form design and database requirements, during development ofthe SPORErelated clinical trials. The Core will provide expertise and resources for data transfer, merging, sharing and security while maintaining the confidentiality of all patient-related protected health information. The Core will provide ready and dedicated access to statistical expertise for the design, planning and conduct of preclinical experiments, clinical trials and correlative tissue and biomarker studies. Analysis ofthe clinical trials will include interim monitoring, if necessary, including the stopping rules for safety and futility. The Core will also provide statistical expertise for data analysis and interpretation of research studies, including manuscript preparation.
