Data Management

Provide reliable data

Collect, check and share are the main activities of our Data Management department, with a unique objective: to provide the most accurate database for the final statistical analysis. Our internal dedicated Data Managers conduct these activities under high-quality and standardized process (SOPs) and by using in-house dedicated tools (eCRF, …) and SAS® software. 

  • CRF/eCRF Design
  • Database validation
  • Access account management
  • Data Entry plan
  • Data Acquisition: Data entry and Data import 
  • Data Validation, based on a Data Validation Plan (DVP)
  • Data Coding: MEDRA, WHODrug
  • Blind review & Database finalisation: Unblinding database lock
  • Secured data transfer to the Sponsor
our "plus"

Multiple Data acquisition interfaces (clinical or not)

Health Data Hosting infrastructure: data security and privacy

Custom internal database developments

Flexible Electronic Data Capture systems (eCRF, ePRO (Patient Reported Outcomes, …)

Biostatistics

DESIGN, DESCRIBE & MODEL

Biostatistics department gathers highly experienced statistical programmers and biostatisticians trained in advanced statistical methodologies and standard good clinical practices involved in randomised clinical trials and observational studies. Statistical programming is carried out using SAS® software for most of the clinical projects and can be adapted to other statistical languages such as R according to your needs.

In the earliest phases of the project
  • Insights into experimental design and study protocol writing
  • Sample size calculation
  • Randomisation schedule
  • Statistical Analysis Plan (SAP)
STATISTICAL ANALYSIS AND REPORTING OF RESULTS
  • Preparation of the data review
  • Production of TFLs (Tables, Figures and Listings)
  • Graphical visualisations and descriptive statistics 
  • Comparative analyses and statistical modeling 
  • Meta-analyses 
  • Support for publication writing 

    OUR PLUS

    – A highly qualified team (Master’s or PhD in statistics) with extensive experience in a broad range of clinical and health science settings 

    Methodology: literature review, continuous training and internal R&D to provide up-to-date methodologies

    – Knowledge of international methodological standards in planning, analysis and reporting of clinical trials (ICH, EFSA, CONSORT, STROBE and PRISMA) 

    – Support for your internal R&D projects

    ICH, EFSA, EMA

    Bioinformatics

    Develop & optimise

    In the omics field, bioinformatics provides for the development of tailored pipelines combining well referenced algorithms and in-house custom scripts. 

    Our expertise covers both metabarcoding (16S, ITS) and metagenomics (Shotgun) but also Whole Genome Sequencing (WGS), as well as ad hoc work. We have full control of our IT infrastructure to ensure fast and reproducible analysis.
