Benefit-Risk Assessment Methods in Medical Product Development: Bridging Qualitative and Quantitative Assessments provides general guidance and case studies to aid practitioners in selecting specific benefit-risk (B-R) frameworks and quantitative methods. Leading experts from industry, regulatory agencies, and academia present practical examples, lessons learned, and best practices that illustrate how to conduct structured B-R assessment in clinical development and regulatory submission.
The first section of the book discusses the role of B-R assessments in medicine development and regulation, the need for both a common B-R framework and patient input into B-R decisions, and future directions. The second section focuses on legislative and regulatory policy initiatives as well as decisions made at the U.S. FDA's Center for Devices and Radiological Health. The third section examines key elements of B-R evaluations in a product's life cycle, such as uncertainty evaluation and quantification, quantifying patient B-R trade-off preferences, ways to identify subgroups with the best B-R profiles, and data sources used to assist B-R assessment. The fourth section equips practitioners with tools to conduct B-R evaluations, including assessment methodologies, a quantitative joint modeling and joint evaluation framework, and several visualization tools. The final section presents a rich collection of case studies.
With top specialists sharing their in-depth knowledge, thought-provoking considerations, and practical advice, this book offers comprehensive coverage of B-R evaluation methods, tools, and case studies. It gives practitioners a much-needed toolkit to develop and conduct their own B-R evaluations.
Reviews / Votes
"This is one of the few books fully dedicated to the benefit-risk (BR) evaluation of pharmaceutical product. . . This book was edited by two leading experts who not only have done extensive research on the topics but also have established and led the society of clinical trial BR working group. The contributing authors in each chapter are experienced researchers and/or thought-leaders in the field. We think this book gives practitioners a much needed job aid to perform their BR evaluation."~ Journal of Biopharmaceutical Statistics

The file format PDF always displays a book page identically on any hardware. This makes PDF suitable for complex layouts such as those used in textbooks and reference books (images, tables, columns, footnotes). Unfortunately, on the small screens of e-readers or smartphones, PDFs are rather annoying, requiring too much scrolling.
