Biostatistics

We’ve made it our mission in biostatistical analysis to offer clinical trial development and statistical expertise from the design of the study protocol, through the data collection tools, all the way to reviewing the clinical research report.

Biostatistics Consulting and Planning

For 15 years, our clients have benefited from an expert staff of 20 statisticians who work with clients in Clinical Research, Statistics, SAS programming and latest regulatory guidance.

All SGS statisticians have a special degree in [bio] statistics, and they are trained by the SAS Institute itself in programming. Our clients may come to us for a full statistical development plan or just several of its components.

Delivering

SGS’s team of professionals develops the TLFs in SAS according to the specifications in the biostatistical analysis plan.

CDISC ADaM formats are followed as a standard. SGS can even share a draft set of TLFs (a blinded test run) before database lock, and discuss the contents. Programming can also be done according to clients own standards.

To speed up statistical analysis time, and reducing costs, SGS uses its library of over 60 validated SAS macros. SAS programs can be delivered at the end of the project, together with a catalogue of compiled macros. After delivering the statistical analysis, the SGS statistician follows through with a review of the Clinical Study Report (CSR) ensuring coherence and quality.
