Model-Based Meta-Analysis (MBMA) has emerged as a powerful tool for integrating data across clinical trials and generating insights that efficiently inform drug development and regulatory decision-making. This webinar will unpack two distinct MBMA methodologies: modeling absolute outcomes and relative treatment effects.

Using a mix of simulated and real-world case studies, this webinar will cover:

  • Choosing the Right Modeling Approach
    When to apply absolute outcome vs. relative effect models based on clinical and development objectives.
  • Maximizing Impact with Covariates
    Differentiating between prognostic and predictive covariates and how they influence model applications, plus best practices for covariate exploration.
  • Informing Decisions with Simulations
    How MBMA-based simulations can improve trial design, support treatment comparisons, and guide go/no-go decisions.
  • Ensuring Model Credibility
    Techniques for evaluating model fit and credibility to ensure reliable, decision-ready results.
  • Applying MBMA in the Real World
    Case studies showing how MBMA informs regulatory submissions, product strategy, and development planning.

Why It Matters:

Traditional meta-analyses often fall short in handling variability across trials, limiting their usefulness in decision-making. MBMA overcomes this by offering a more robust, model-based framework—enabling better synthesis of heterogeneous data, covariate exploration, and trial outcome simulation. This makes it particularly valuable for:

  • Comparing treatments when head-to-head data is limited
  • Optimizing dose selection and trial design
  • Reducing development risk and cost through simulation-based insights
