Books by Shein-Chung Chow

This book is focused on the critical clinical initiatives introduced by the 21st Century Cure Act passed by the United States Congress in December 2016. The book covers everything from the outline of the initiatives to analysis on the effect on biopharmaceutical research and development.

"Offers a comprehensive, unified presentation of statistical designs and methods of analysis for all stages of pharmaceutical development--emphasizing biopharmaceutical applications and demonstrating statistical techniques with real-world examples."

Emphasizing the role of good statistical practices (GSP) in drug research and formulation, this book outlines important statistics applications for each stage of pharmaceutical development to ensure the valid design, analysis, and assessment of drug products under investigation and establish the safety and efficacy of pharmaceutical compounds. Coverage include statistical techniques for assay validation and evaluation of drug performance characteristics, testing population/individual bioequivalence and in vitro bioequivalence according to the most recent FDA guidelines, basic considerations for the design and analysis of therapeutic equivalence and noninferiority trials.

As many biological products face losing their patents in the next decade, the pharmaceutical industry needs an abbreviated regulatory pathway for approval of biosimilar drug products, which are cost-effective, follow-on/subsequent versions of the innovatorΓÇÖs biologic products. But scientific challenges remain due to the complexity of both the manufacturing process and the structures of biosimilar products.Written by a top biostatistics researcher, Biosimilars: Design and Analysis of Follow-on Biologics is the first book entirely devoted to the statistical design and analysis of biosimilarity and interchangeability of biosimilar products. It includes comparability tests of important quality attributes at critical stages of the manufacturing processes of biologic products. Connecting the pharmaceutical/biotechnology industry, government regulatory agencies, and academia, this state-of-the-art book focuses on the scientific factors and practical issues related to the design and analysis of biosimilar studies. It covers most of the statistical questions encountered in various study designs at different stages of research and development of biological products.

A Western-Based Approach to Analyzing TCMsIn recent years, many pharmaceutical companies and clinical research organizations have been focusing on the development of traditional Chinese (herbal) medicines (TCMs) as alternatives to treating critical or life-threatening diseases and as pathways to personalized medicine.Quantitative Methods for Traditional Chinese Medicine Development is the first book entirely devoted to the design and analysis of TCM development from a Western perspective, i.e., evidence-based clinical research and development. The book provides not only a comprehensive summary of innovative quantitative methods for developing TCMs but also a useful desk reference for principal investigators involved in personalized medicine. Written by one of the worldΓÇÖs most prominent biostatistics researchers, the book connects the pharmaceutical industry, regulatory agencies, and academia. It presents a state-of-the-art examination of the subject for:Scientists and researchers who are engaged in pharmaceutical/clinical research and development of TCMsThose in regulatory agencies who make decisions in the review and approval process of TCM regulatory submissions Biostatisticians who provide statistical support to assess clinical safety and effectiveness of TCMs and related issues regarding quality control and assurance as well as to test for consistency in the manufacturing processes for TCMsThis book covers all of the statistical issues encountered at various stages of pharmaceutical/clinical development of a TCM. It explains regulatory requirements; product specifications and standards; and various statistical techniques for evaluation of TCMs, validation of diagnostic procedures, and testing consistency. It also contains an entire chapter of case studies and addresses critical issues in TCM development and FAQs from a

"Focuses on analytical similarity assessment in biosimilar product development following the FDA's recommended stepwise approach for obtaining totality-of-the-evidence for approval of biosimilar products. It will cover current issues, and recent development in analytical similarity assessment"--
