Clinical Trial Statistics for Non Statisticians
Course Update
We regret to inform you that we decided to cancel this course due to the increase in COVID-19 cases across Europe. The next edition of the course will be organised from 14-17 June 2022. Registrations will open in early 2022.
Develop the statistical knowledge required to better understand today’s cancer clinical trials!
Today, statistics are critical to understand clinical trials. This EORTC course provides an introduction to the statistical methods used for the design, conduct and analysis of cancer clinical trials.
This course will provide a greater understanding of the statistical principles whilst avoiding too technical formulations. Attendees will be better equipped to design their own clinical research, work in a multidisciplinary team involving statisticians and to critically appraise the scientific value of published research.
This course is aimed at non-statisticians who work in clinical research or at statisticians with little or no experience in clinical trials.

Certificate of Advanced Studies in Gastrointestinal Cancer (CAS-GI)
The first edition of the Certificate of Advanced Studies in Gastrointestinal cancer will begin in June 2022 and is the first competence programme to focus on the improvement of both the clinical and scientific capability of oncologists, ensuring better-quality management of patients with gastrointestinal cancers.
This programme, which is offered on a part-time basis over 15 months, is divided into a seminar module (three seminars) and six online modules.
Upon successful completion of the programme and after passing the final exam, participants will obtain an academic certificate issued by the European School of Oncology and the Università della Svizzera italiana assigning 14 European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System Points (ECTS) and equalling a work load of 381 didactic hours and a diploma supplement issued by the Università della Svizzera italiana.

CReDO 2022 workshop – Research protocol development workshop
The 6th CReDO workshop is being organized by the Tata Memorial Centre, Mumbai and the National Cancer Grid of India (a large collaborative network of 177 major cancer centers, research institutes, patient groups and charitable institutions across India). This workshop – the fifth International Collaboration for Research methods Development in Oncology (CReDO) will be held between 6th and 12th March 2022 (both days inclusive) in a location close to Mumbai. The workshop is designed similar to only three such workshops which currently exist globally in the United States (the AACR/ASCO Workshop on Methods in Clinical Cancer Research), Europe (AACR-EORTC-ESMO Workshop on Methods in Clinical Cancer Research) and Australia (the MOGA-ACORD Protocol Development Workshop).
The objective of this workshop is to train researchers in oncology in various aspects of clinical trial design and to help them to convert a one-page research concept into a full-fledged research protocol, ready for submission to the Ethics Committee. The workshop will consist of a combination of protocol development group sessions, didactic talks, small-group breakaway sessions, office-hours (one-to-one direct consultation with experts) and “homework”. The faculty will consist of international and national experts with extensive experience in oncology research.
