This course will take place on campus, at the LUMC, from 13-16 April 2026.

Topics include Phase II / Phase III studies, randomization and blinding, power calculations (sample size), analysis of trial outcomes, superiority, inferiority and equivalence, missing values and multiple imputation. Practical sessions will focus on hands-on experience in the above topics, based on an example trial dataset.

The target group is Master and PhD students (at start PhD; year 1 or 2) and clinical researchers.
