  • Clinical Context: Collaborating with clinicians to understand treatment effects and disease dynamics.
  • Effect Quantification: Exploring alternatives to hazard ratios when proportionality doesn’t hold.
  • Trial Design: Challenges in designing studies with non-proportional hazards and strategies to address them.
  • Simplification Risks: Avoiding oversimplifications like responder analysis or arbitrary sample size increases.
  • Stakeholder Communication: Explaining complex survival data effectively to non-statisticians.
  • Regulatory Considerations: Balancing valid hypothesis testing with meaningful effect quantification.
  • Actionable Insights: Practical steps for statisticians to improve survival analysis and trial design.
  • Dealing with non-proportional hazards is a complex but critical aspect of survival analysis, and understanding it can make a significant difference in your work. In this episode, Kaspar and I covered everything from hazard functions and survival curves to practical strategies for trial design and effect quantification. If you found these insights valuable, don’t keep them to yourself!
