Design

A close collaboration of scientific writers and biostatisticians to design your research project and communicate your results with flair.

Our medical and scientific affairs team offers a wide range of writing services, from the development of core study documents only to full medical writing programmes.

Working in synergy with our statisticians, our MSA experts advise you on the best methodological approach, support you in the writing of synopses and protocols, thus ensuring robust clinical results and high level communication of study outcomes.

WHAT ARE THE FUNDAMENTAL STEPS
TO BEST DESIGN A PROJECT IN CLINICAL R&D?

The design of a protocol, pre- or post-approval, or of a
a development plan requires:

A critical review
of articles and available data

The critical analysis of the current state of knowledge on the research question (i.e. the hypothesis formulated) must conclude that the project is relevant and must guide its conception.

A METHODOLOGICAL INPUT FOR THE DESIGN
OF THE STUDY PROTOCOL

This stage involves a multidisciplinary reflection involving all the disciplines that make up clinical R&D, in particular clinicians and biostatisticians trained in statistical methodology.
