About
Professor Janet L. Peacock is a distinguished medical statistician whose work bridges rigorous trial design and complex clinical questions. Her research centers on the methodology and application of randomized controlled trials (RCTs), particularly in surgery and ophthalmology. She is best known for leading the statistical design and analysis of the landmark CORAL trial (2015, 337 citations), a pioneering single-centre, three-arm RCT comparing open, robotic, and laparoscopic radical cystectomy. This study provided crucial evidence on surgical outcomes and recovery, directly influencing urological practice. More recently, Professor Peacock has contributed to the STAR trial (2024), a pivotal, double-masked, sham-controlled device trial investigating stereotactic radiotherapy for neovascular age-related macular degeneration, a leading cause of blindness. Her expertise in complex trial designs, including early-phase and device evaluations, has shaped evidence-based medicine across multiple specialties. With a career spanning decades, she has authored over 300 publications and is recognized for advancing statistical methods in clinical research, mentoring the next generation of trialists, and ensuring that robust, reproducible evidence underpins patient care.
