"Sensitivity Analyses for Time to Event Data in the Context of Estimands."

We're excited to host our Fall 2024 Industry Seminar series, where we invite statisticians and data scientists working in industry to discuss their experiences. Learn about our upcoming speaker below:

Christina Nurse, PhD, A native of Atlanta, Georgia, Dr. Christina Nurse graduated summa cum laude from Spelman College, where she majored in mathematics where her dedication earned her membership into the prestigious Phi Beta Kappa National Honor Society. Upon her graduation from Spelman, Dr. Nurse’s potential was recognized with both the Ford and GEM Fellowships, which supported her pursuit of a Master’s degree and Ph.D. inbiostatistics at Harvard University. In 2017, Dr. Nurse proudly earned her Ph.D. in biostatistics, a significant milestone that marked the beginning of her impact in the world of statistical sciences.  Dr. Nurse is currently the Associate Director of Statistics and Quantitative Sciences at Takeda Pharmaceuticals where she received the prestigious Takeda ExecutiveTeam award, the highest honor the company bestows.  Her research interests include estimands and sensitivity analyses for missing data.  She also serves as the Vice Chair of District 1 for the American Statistical Association (ASA) Council of Chapters Governing Board and hosts the podcast for the ASA Biopharmaceutical Section where distinguished guests discuss hot topics in
the statistics field.

Abstract: In clinical trials, estimands are employed to clearly define treatment effects in alignment with study objectives. Within this framework, intercurrent events—events that may affect the interpretation of treatment effects—are identified. To ensure the robustness of trial results, conducting sensitivity analyses is essential. This talk explores sensitivity analyses for time-to-event data within the context of estimands.
