SUMMARY:Reconciling conflicting results from target trials assessing the long-term effects of bariatric surgery

A recent study\, however\, suggested that much of that prior work is flawed in that it suffers from oversimplified definitions of the intervention\, eligibility criteria\, and follow-up. Furthermore\, using the target trial emulation framework and data from the Veterans Administration (VA)\, results are presented as providing no evidence of benefit regarding CVD. In this talk\, we present new results using data from Kaiser Permanente and an emulated trial that mimics the methods employed in the VA data which suggest benefit. We discuss possible mechanisms by which the discrepant results can be reconciled and conclude with an open discussion of what standards we should be using as we label work as being flawed.  \n\n\nBio: Sebastian Haneuse is a Professor of Biostatistics and the Director of Graduate Studies Program in the Department of Biostatistics at Harvard Chan School of Public Health. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n	\n		\n		\n			\n				\n					\n						Unleash your potential at Harvard Chan School.					\n					In addition to our degree programs\, we offer highly targeted programs through our Advanced Learning Academy\, directed and taught by Harvard faculty. \n											\n																															\n									\n										Degree Programs									\n								\n																															\n									\n										How to Apply									\n								\n																															\n									\n										Advanced Learning Academy

SUMMARY:Common Genetic Variation and Our Future Health
DESCRIPTION:Home / Kresge 502\n\n\n\n\n\n\nKresge 502\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTime \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEvent Type \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDepartment of Epidemiology Seminar Series \n\n\nSpeaker: \nDavid Hunter\, M.B.\,B.S.\, Sc.D.\nRichard Doll Professor of Epidemiology & Medicine\nDirector of Translational Epidemiology Unit\nOxford Population Health\, Nuffield Department of Population Health\, University of Oxford  \n\n\nAbstract: In the 1990’s the “Common variant\, Common diseases” hypothesis was proposed.  The Human Genome Project was followed by the HapMap\, and the development of genome chips that enabled the whole genome to be assessed in case-control studies or nested case-control studies permitted tests of the hypothesis.  I will review subsequent developments and the clinical utility of measuring common genetic variation\, and barriers to using this information in disease prevention.  Overcoming these barriers through unprecedented levels of data sharing may be a key to Our Future Health.  \n\n\nBio: David Hunter is the Richard Doll Professor of Epidemiology and Medicine and Director of the Translational Epidemiology Unit at Oxford Population Health\, the Nuffield Department of Population Health\, University of Oxford\, UK. He founded the Program in Genetic Epidemiology and Statistical Genetics at Harvard and was co-chair of the steering committee of the Breast and Prostate Cancer Cohort Consortium at the National Cancer Institute.  He was co-director of the NCI Cancer Genetic Susceptibility Markers project focused on genome-wide association studies\, and Dean for Academic Affairs and Acting Dean at the Harvard TH Chan School of Public Health. He is the Chief Science Advisor to Our Future Health a major new national initiative in the UK that aims to return genomic information to consenting participants.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n	\n		\n		\n			\n				\n					\n						Unleash your potential at Harvard Chan School.					\n					In addition to our degree programs\, we offer highly targeted programs through our Advanced Learning Academy\, directed and taught by Harvard faculty. \n											\n																															\n									\n										Degree Programs									\n								\n																															\n									\n										How to Apply									\n								\n																															\n									\n										Advanced Learning Academy

This talk will briefly review why identifying the causes and potential prevention strategies for dementia is particularly challenging.  I will discuss a framework for evidence triangulation and offer examples of promising approaches in dementia research.”  \n\n\nBio: Maria Glymour (she/her) is Professor and Chair of the Department of Epidemiology at Boston University School of Public Health. Her research examines how social factors experienced across the lifecourse\, from infancy to adulthood\, influence cognitive function\, dementia\, stroke\, and other health outcomes in aging. A separate theme of her research focuses on overcoming methodological problems encountered in analyses of the social determinants of health\, Alzheimer’s disease\, and dementia.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n	\n		\n		\n			\n				\n					\n						Unleash your potential at Harvard Chan School.					\n					In addition to our degree programs\, we offer highly targeted programs through our Advanced Learning Academy\, directed and taught by Harvard faculty. \n											\n																															\n									\n										Degree Programs									\n								\n																															\n									\n										How to Apply									\n								\n																															\n									\n										Advanced Learning Academy

SUMMARY:Practical Aspects of Predicting RCT Findings Using Healthcare Databases
DESCRIPTION:Home / Kresge 502\n\n\n\n\n\n\nKresge 502\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTime \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEvent Type \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDepartment of Epidemiology Seminar Series \n\n\nSpeaker: \n\n\nSebastian Schneeweiss\, M.D.\, Sc.D.  \n\n\nProfessor of Medicine at Harvard Medical School and Chief of the Division of Pharmacoepidemiology\, Department of Medicine\, Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston \n\n\nDepartment of Epidemiology of the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health.   \n\n\nProfessor of Epidemiology\, Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health \n\n\nAbstract: Healthcare databases have been used for decades to understand the safety of prescription drugs and are increasingly considered to study their intended treatment effects. In an FDA-funded demonstration project\, we identified 30 RCTs designed for regulatory submissions\, emulated their design and measurements as much as possible in claims data\, and estimated and compared effect estimates. We also predicted the findings of 7 ongoing trials. Going through a defined process incl. pre-registration of study protocols\, several challenges to emulating trials conducted for regulatory purposes emerged. Yet among those trials that could be emulated well in their design and measurement\, we were able to predict findings reasonably well (r=0.94). I will discuss some implications for pharmacoepidemiology. \n\n\nBio: His research focuses on assessing the effectiveness and safety of biopharmaceuticals in clinical practice. He has developed and applied analytic methods to improve the accuracy of estimating causal treatment effects of newly-marketed drugs using complex digital healthcare databases. His work is published in >500 articles and is used for regulatory and coverage decision making around the globe. He is funded by NIH\, PCORI\, Burroughs Wellcome\, and the FDA where he is also a voting consultant. He is Principal Investigator of the FDA Sentinel Innovation Center and co-leads the RCT-DUPLICATE initiative and ENCORE to understand when and how real-world evidence studies can reach robust conclusions to support regulatory and HTA decisions.   \n\n\nHe is Past President of the International Society for Pharmacoepidemiology and is a Fellow of the American College of Epidemiology\, the American College of Clinical Pharmacology\, and the International Society for Pharmacoepidemiology. In 2024\, he is Visiting Fellow of the Center for Advanced Studies\, Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität\, Munich.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n	\n		\n		\n			\n				\n					\n						Unleash your potential at Harvard Chan School.					\n					In addition to our degree programs\, we offer highly targeted programs through our Advanced Learning Academy\, directed and taught by Harvard faculty. \n											\n																															\n									\n										Degree Programs									\n								\n																															\n									\n										How to Apply									\n								\n																															\n									\n										Advanced Learning Academy
