Subject:      Re: Biostatisticians role in clinical trials

Dear Bob:

It`s odd that you seem to be having trouble finding such documentation
since a biostatistician and an epidemiologist are 2 of the key players
in any clinical trial.

The clinical trial 'bible' is a text titled 'Clinical Trials : Design,
Conduct, and Analysis (Monographs in Epidemiology and Biostatistics,
Vol 8)' by C.   Meinert.

Issues such as randomization, masking analysis, power and sample size
calculations, and anything else you would want to know in general can
be found here...

Good luck.
