IQVIA
This is a boutique expert statistical consulting group advising on exciting opportunities within IQVIA’s Core Services Research and Development Business unit.
Apart of the larger Biostatistics Team, this statistical research team is unique in its emphasis to develop optimal strategies to best navigate the complexities of clinical development, support building innovative and optimized trial designs, and facilitate decision-making throughout clinical development.
Our biostatisticians support endpoint selection, sample size estimation and re-estimation, simulations, advise on state-of-the art design approaches and analysis methods, and assist with data displays and interpretations of data analysis results, based on machine learning or other complex data analyses. Our experienced biostatisticians serve as statistical consultants, both internally and externally, provide statistical thought leadership, and advise on advanced statistical methods.
Their early engagement aims to identify gaps in the drug development strategy and in proposed study designs — at the time of synopsis writing.
The CSDD group’s expertise in design types include biosimilars, adaptive designs, seamless designs, dose-response designs, master protocols, Bayesian methods and analyses.
This group engages in publishing papers in peer-reviewed journals, refereeing and editorial work, and presenting talks at scientific conferences and at internal and external webinars.
