A close collaboration of scientific writers and biostatisticians to design your research project and communicate…
Biostatistics
ICTA biometry services to generate high-quality and reliable data for informed decision making.
Benefit from our high level biometry expertise which combines knowledge in standard and complex statistical methodologies applied to clinical R&D, real world evidence (RWE) studies, and database / big data analyses.
ICTA BRINGS EXPERIENCE AND
EXPERTISE IN BIOSTATISTICS FROM THE STUDY CONCEPTION TO THE
PACKAGE SUBMISSION TO AUTHORITIES
We DRAW on our in-depth knowledge of STATISTICAL methodologies
to come up with approaches IN LINE WITH your project needs, regardless of THEIR complexity
Guidance in a wide range of study designs and implementation:
From “traditional” designs to adaptive designs (group sequential designs, continual reassessment methods, multi-arm multi-stage designs, adaptive randomisation, adaptive dose-ranging, seamless phase I/II, seamless phase II/III)
- With a frequentist or a Bayesian approach
- Cross-sectional epidemiological studies, cohort studies, case-control studies
- Studies on medical devices, including evaluation of diagnostic methods
Writing of the statistical sections of protocols in conformity with the relevant guidelines
- ICH E9 / ICH E9 (R1) for exploratory and confirmatory studies
- Guidelines for bioavailability and bioequivalence studies
- ENCePP Guide on Methodological Standards in Pharmacoepidemiology
- EMA Guidance for the format and content of the protocol of non-interventional post-authorisation safety studies
- HAS protocol template for post-registration studies for drugs, medical devices and health services
Design and implementation of sampling and randomisation plan
