In clinical trials, we randomize to ensure the blind. But even the most secure randomization algorithms, which provide the least predictability, have a real risk of unblinding when implemented.
In this webinar, Calyx’s Head of Statistics and Product Support Services, Malcolm Morrissey shares his experience on how to identify the randomization implementation options that can lead to unblinding of the block size and other potential risks that could result in selection bias at the site.
He’ll review how to mitigate this risk, which is increased during events outside of the normal randomization process; this includes live study data transfers and study-specific features such as forced randomization and cohort rules.
After a brief presentation, Malcolm opens the floor to your questions – ask him anything!
