Professor Oriana Ciani is an academic affiliated with the School of Health & Wellbeing at the University of Glasgow. She is part of the MRC/CSO Social and Public Health Sciences Unit. Her research focuses on improving reporting standards for clinical trials involving surrogate endpoints, particularly through the development of SPIRIT-Surrogate and CONSORT-Surrogate extensions. She collaborates extensively with researchers like Anthony Muchai Manyara and Rod Taylor on methodologies to enhance transparency and validity in medical research.
Her work emphasizes the critical role of surrogate endpoints in clinical trials, advocating for clearer guidelines to ensure these endpoints reliably predict clinical outcomes. She has contributed to studies on sample size requirements for Delphi surveys and the evaluation of health technologies using surrogate evidence.
Recent publications highlight her engagement with cardiac electrophysiology trials, chronic disease treatments, and the limitations of biomarkers like LDL cholesterol as surrogates. Her research bridges clinical epidemiology, health policy, and biostatistics, with a focus on advancing evidence-based practices in healthcare.
