Biostatistics and programming

From study design consultation to submission-ready CDISC packages, our biostatisticians and statistical programmers collaborate to deliver peer-reviewed, validated outputs.

What we deliver

Sound statistical decisions depend on more than running the numbers. Our biostatisticians and programmers provide expert statistical support across all phases of clinical research and therapeutic areas, helping sponsors make informed decisions from study design through regulatory submission. 

Our Services include:

  • Study design consultation and sample size calculations 
  • Randomization plans and schedules 
  • Statistical analysis plans (SAPs) and Table, Figure and Listing (TFL) shells 
  • Interim safety, pharmacokinetic (PK), pharmacodynamic (PD), efficacy and exploratory analyses 
  • Interim and Final TFLs for study reporting
  • CDISC-compliant SDTM and ADaM datasets  
  • eSubmission packages, including Annotated CRF (aCRF), define.xml, Clinical Study Data Reviewer’s Guide (CSDRG), and Analysis Data Reviewer’s Guide (ADRG)

Every analysis is designed to be valid, relevant and aligned with study objectives – producing actionable results and conclusions that withstand scientific and regulatory scrutiny.

01

Planning stage

Our biostatisticians are involved from study design forward. At the planning stage, they provide design consultation, sample size calculations and review the relevant data management documentation to align the analysis strategy and data structure before the study starts.

02

Statistical analysis plan

As the protocol takes shape, the team generates randomization schedules, develops the statistical analysis plan and TFL shells, which define how the data will be analyzed and reported. Establishing these elements early reduces rework later and supports on-time reporting.

03

Conduct and database lock

The team performs planned analyses, including interim, safety, PK, PD, efficacy and exploratory analyses, and prepares the tables, figures and listings used for study reporting. Expedited interim and topline analyses can support dose escalation and other time-sensitive decisions.

04

Datasets and outputs

Throughout the study, our biostatisticians collaborate closely with the statistical programming team to produce validated outputs, including CDISC-compliant SDTM and ADaM datasets and complete eSubmission packages, so the deliverables are ready for submission.

Our biostatistics and programming leadership

Our biostatisticians and statistical programmers work as one integrated team. Biostatisticians define the analyses, while programmers build and validate the datasets and outputs. Pairing these functions means the experts who design the analysis and those who produce the results stay aligned from the SAP through final delivery. The teams are led by:

Quality, standards and compliance

Quality is built into every deliverable.

Datasets and outputs

Datasets and outputs are peer-reviewed and independently validated before release, so the results sponsors rely on are checked by a second set of qualified eyes. 

Regulatory compliance

Building to CDISC standards and validating eSubmission packages with Pinnacle 21 Enterprise supports regulatory compliance and ensures a smooth submission process. 

Collaboration

Close collaboration with data management helps maintain data integrity and consistency from the study database through the analysis datasets. The team also partners with medical writing during clinical study report (CSR) development. They also partner with biostatisticians participating in the review to ensure study results are summarized accurately and consistently.

Connected across the full study lifecycle

Biostatistics and programming play a central role in transforming study data into actionable results. Working closely with Data Management, the PK/PD team, Medical Writing and Project Management, the team helps ensure data flows efficiently from collection through analysis and reporting.
