Bio Statistics and Clinical Data Management
In the pharmaceutical industry, biostatistics and clinical data management have become indispensable. Comprehensive insights can be gained from a wide variety of studies through targeted statistical programming. In compliance with GCP guidelines, comprehensive data can be managed, and a study can be successfully evaluated. Biostatistics helps to analyse clinical studies with specific guidelines.
Clinical Data Management
Clinical Data Management
Why are we talking about this?
Clinical data management is the processing of data collected in a clinical study in a meaningful and efficient way. Well-thought-out data management ensures study projects are carried out correctly from the planning stage to conclusion. Some of the biggest challenges include creating and validating databases, ensuring data consistency, handling erroneous data, remote data entry and query management, and preparing data for statistical analysis.
Well-designed data management generates more data for your studies, providing a larger data pool and thus increasing the validity of the studies significantly.
Sophisticated database design and programming, including the corresponding documentation, make the user's work much easier; with a good Case Report Form (CRF) design, clear and precise questions and instructions can be created, eliminating the risk of misinterpretation.
With data review support (jReview, Spotfire, etc.), well thought-out query management, and the use of interfaces to EDC/RDE systems, your clinical data management is a guaranteed success.

Statistics for Clinical Studies
Statistics for Clinical Studies
Why are we talking about this?
In recent years, biostatistics have gained increasing importance due to the emergence of various high-throughput methods. These methods allow millions of tests to be conducted on biochemical, genetic, or pharmacological substances, and consequently huge amounts of data are generated, which need to be processed.
There are several methods available to process these large datasets. However, as the amount of data increases, the methods used become more complex. Common techniques for analysing this data include neural networks, support vector machines, and principal component analysis, which involve dimension reduction techniques from the field of statistical machine learning.
Biostatistics are used in nutritional research to determine the health efficacy of certain foods, as well as in clinical trials to analyse the effectiveness of particular drugs and treatments.
Biostatistics are a critical component in various fields, including clinical trials, nutritional research, and preventive medicine, as well as playing a significant role in study planning, like the creation of study protocols, case number planning, CRF, DVP (Data Validation Plans), and other related activities, all in compliance with the relevant ICH (International Council for Harmonisation of Technical Requirements for Pharmaceuticals for Human Use) and FDA (Food and Drug Administration) guidelines.
Clinical studies involve the use of SAP (Statistical Analysis Plans) and the creation of TLF (Tables, Listings, and Figures). Additionally, these studies require organising and participating in DSMB (Data Safety Monitoring Boards) and conducting PK/PD (Pharmacokinetic/Pharmacodynamic) analyses.
With extensive knowledge of pattern recognition and data mining methods, it is possible to discover new relationships in the data, and a clever selection of classification and clustering methods can accurately assign the data to the appropriate groups.

Medical Writing
Medical Writing
Why are we talking about this?
Medical writing is a crucial aspect of the pharmaceutical and medical industry. With the increasing complexity of clinical trials and approval procedures, newly developed medical products must undergo a rigorous process before they can be marketed, and well-structured documents play a vital role in this process. Medical professionals need to be able to read and understand the newly written documents quickly and easily, and a consulting company can support you with the preparation of study-related documents and the processing of regulatory inquiries, amongst other things.
In medical writing, the preparation of study-related documents, like protocols and reports, is very important, and in addition, regulatory requests require prompt and diligent handling to accurately represent your company.
For medical writing, a knowledge of local regulations is of great importance.
In addition to preparing study-related documents, creating effective presentations is also crucial.

Clinical trials are conducted in multiple stages. The initial phase involves testing a new substance on healthy individuals to investigate its safety and tolerability. In phase two, a small group of people who are already sick are given the substance to test its effectiveness and tolerability. Phase three involves administering the substance to a larger group of sick individuals to obtain the necessary data for regulatory approval of the new drug. The final phase focuses on monitoring the therapeutic use of the drug after it has been approved for market, specifically for detecting rare and usually unwanted side effects; this phase also involves identifying any potential long-term effects.
synvert will accompany you through all these phases as well as supporting you in the collection and evaluation of your data.
Pharmacovigilance is the systematic process of monitoring finished drug products for humans or animals, aimed at detecting and evaluating any adverse effects or potential risks associated with their use, thus enabling appropriate risk minimisation measures to be taken, ensuring the safety and efficacy of these products.
Randomly assigning study participants to either control or experimental groups creates a more level playing field, allowing for a higher degree of statistical certainty in the results.
Coding standards adhere to international norms such as MedDRA (Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities), ICD (International Classification of Diseases), and WHO-DD (World Health Organization Drug Dictionary), guaranteeing accurate and consistent documentation and reporting.
