The topic for the evening was Navigating the murky waters of data banks & registries and application of the National Statement. This topic was selected as Bellberry are receiving a growing number of data bank/registry submissions for review; some simple and some more complex.
The format of the evening were 2 presentations by a Senior Manager at a leading clinical research facility and Associate Professor Annette Braunack-Mayer, Professor of Health Ethics in the School of Public Health at University of Adelaide and Chair of Bellberry Committee F, followed by a Q&A session.
The event was extremely well received with over 50 people, many from interstate, in attendance. Many thanks to all our members for their invaluable input and to our guest speakers who made the sessions both interesting and thought provoking.

In October 2014 Bellberry hosted the Crossover conference, an international expert scientific meeting that addressed the challenges of early treatment switching in clinical trial design for oncology. A further scientific meeting in 2015 allowed for the development and launch of best practice guidelines for trial design and statistical methods from an international expert panel.
Bellberry are pleased to announce the publication of two papers arising from the scientific meetings, which have now been accepted by the International Journal of Technology Assessment in Health Care (Cambridge University Press.)
The first is entitled ‘Treatment Switching: Statistical and Decision Making Challenges and Approaches’  (N. Latimer, C.Henshall, U. Siebert and H. Bell)
The second is entitled ‘Treatment Switching in Cancer Trials: Issues and Proposals’ (N. Latimer, C. Henshall, L.Sansom and R. Ward)
