Seminario: Lorenzo Trippa, Adaptive trial design in glioblastoma
by Antonio Pievatolo 28 Jun '19

28 Jun '19

Thursday 4 July 2019 at 14:30 Lorenzo Trippa, Harvard University and Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, Department of Statistics and Computational Biology CNR IMATI, Via A. Corti, 12, Milano, Aula B *Adaptive trial design in glioblastoma* There have been few treatment advances for patients with glioblastoma (GBM) despite increasing scientific understanding of the disease. While factors such as intrinsic tumor biology and drug delivery are challenges to developing efficacious therapies, it is unclear whether the current clinical trial landscape is optimally evaluating new therapies and biomarkers. We queried ClinicalTrials.gov for interventional clinical trials for patients with GBM initiated between January 2005 and December 2016 and abstracted data regarding phase, status, start and end dates, testing locations, endpoints, experimental interventions, sample size, clinical presentation/indication, and design to better understand the clinical trials landscape. Only approximately 8%–11% of patients with newly diagnosed GBM enroll on clinical trials with a similar estimate for all patients with GBM. Trial duration was similar across phases with median time to completion between 3 and 4 years. While 93% of clinical trials were in phases I–II, 26% of the overall clinical trial patient population was enrolled on phase III studies. We use the results of this meta analysis to discuss pros and cons of trial designs in GBM. This analysis includes platforms and the use of external controls. Platform design allow to add new experimental arms to the clinical study when they become available, while the aim of an external controls is to leverage external data that were not generated from the clinical study. -- Dr Antonio Pievatolo IMATI-CNR http://www.imati.cnr.it/joomla/index.php/people?layout=edit&id=101 ph. +39 02 23699 520

The application should contain: - a motivation letter demonstrating motivation, academic strengths and related experience to this position. - CV including publication list - at least two major publications in pdf - minimum 2 reference letters Project abstract Curvilinear structure networks are widespread in both nature and anthropogenic systems, ranging from angiography, earth and environment sciences, to biology and anthropogenic activities. Recovering the existence and architecture of these curvilinear networks is an essential and fundamental task in all the related domains. At present, there has been an explosion of image data documenting these curvilinear structure networks. Therefore, it is of upmost importance to develop numerical approaches that may assist us efficiently to automatically extract curvilinear networks from image data. In recent years, a bulk of works have been proposed to extract curvilinear networks. However, automated and high-quality curvilinear network extraction is still a challenging task nowadays. This is mainly due to the network shape complexity, low-contrast in images, and high annotation cost for training data. To address the problems aroused by these difficulties, this project intends to develop a novel, minimally-supervised curvilinear network extraction method by combining deep neural networks with active learning, where the deep neural networks are employed to automatically learn hierarchical and data-driven features of curvilinear networks, and the active learning is exploited to achieve high-quality extraction using as few annotations as possible. Furthermore, composite and hierarchical heuristic rules will be designed to constrain the geometry of curvilinear structures and guide the curvilinear graph growing. The proposed approach will be tested and validated on extraction of tectonic fractures and faults from a dense collection of satellite and aerial data and “ground truth” available at the Géoazur laboratory in the framework of the Faults_R_Gems project co-funded by the University Côte d’Azur (UCA) and the French National Research Agency (ANR). Then we intend to apply the new automatic extraction approaches to other scenarios, as road extraction in remote sensing images of the Nice region, and blood vessel extraction in available medical image databases. -- Josiane Zerubia INRIA Sophia-Antipolis Méditerranée BP 93, 2004 Route des Lucioles 06902 Sophia-Antipolis Cedex - France phone: +33 4 92 38 78 65, fax: +33 4 92 38 78 58 email: Josiane.Zerubia(a)inria.fr web: http://www-sop.inria.fr/members/Josiane.Zerubia/index-eng.html

Corso Enrico Scalas presso UNISA
by Barbara Martinucci 22 Jun '19

22 Jun '19

Università degli Studi di Salerno Dipartimento di Matematica Si rende noto che nel periodo 25 giugno - 12 luglio 2019 si terrà il corso di dottorato "From Markov chains to semi-Markov processes: The consequences of time change". Le lezioni saranno tenute dal Prof. Enrico Scalas, Professor of Statistics & Probability, University of Sussex, UK (pagina web: http://www.sussex.ac.uk/profiles/330303) e si terranno nella sala del consiglio del Dipartimento di Matematica secondo il seguente calendario: - lezione 1 (2 ore): martedì 25 giugno, ore 11:00-13:00; - lezione 2 (3 ore): venerdì 28 giugno, ore 10:00-13:00; - lezione 3 (3 ore): martedì 2 luglio, ore 10:00-13:00; - lezione 4 (3 ore): giovedì 4 luglio, ore 10:00-13:00; - lezione 5 (2 ore): martedì 9 luglio, ore 11:00-13:00; - lezione 6 (3 ore): venerdì 12 luglio, ore 10:00-13:00. Gli interessati sono invitati a partecipare. I contenuti del corso sono riportati qui di seguito. Research context What happens if the discrete time at which innovations occur for a Markov chain is replaced by a counting process? If the counting process is the Poisson process, one still gets a Markov process. On the contrary, if the counting process is of renewal type, the resulting process is no longer Markovian: It becomes a semi-Markov process. Semi-Markov processes have infinite memory and are naturally related to non-local operators in time such as the so-called Caputo derivative that appears when the expected values of inter-event times diverge. For this reason, there has been a surge of interest on these processes in recent years. Syllabus: 1. From Markov chains to semi-Markov processes: General framework (2 hours) 1.1 From the Poisson process to the fractional Poisson process 1.2 Time change and its consequences 2. Example 1: Continuous-time random walks (CTRWs) and applications (8 hours) 2.1 The diffusion equation and the normal compound Poisson process 2.2 The space-time fractional diffusion equation and CTRWs 2.3 Some applications 3. Example 2: Semi-Markov graph dynamics (6 hours) Pre-requisites The course will be accessible to first year PhD students (Corso di Dottorato in Matematica, Fisica e Applicazioni). In fact, the main pre-requisites are: 1. An introductory course in probability and statistics. 2. Fourier and Laplace transforms. Learning objectives After following this course, the students should be able: 1. To read and understand the recent literature on semi-Markov process 2. To perform calculations on continuous-time random walks and other semi-Markov processes using elementary probabilistic methods Essential references: - Scalas, Enrico (2017) Continuous-time statistics and generalized relaxation equations.
