How can the NWORTH Statistics team support your study?
The NWORTH Statistics team work in close collaboration with Chief Investigators (CI) and study teams to support the rigorous analysis, design and interpretation of study data. Our experienced Statisticians can support you at every stage of the clinical trial, including:
- Protocol development
- Participant selection and sampling strategies (including power and sample size calculations)
- Statistical Analysis Plan (SAP) drafting and analysis reporting
- Case Report Forms (CRF) design
- Development of randomisation methodology and specification
- Performing randomisations
- Contribution to final report and/ or publications
Our Statisticians work under the leadership of the Senior Statistician and Principal Statistician. We work in accordance with NWORTH Statistics Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) within the NWORTH Quality Management System (QMS), to provide high-quality statistical support for you and your trial team.
Why work with a Statistician?
Statistical input is an important part of any clinical study. It is vital to ensure that studies are designed effectively, trial data is robustly collected and analysed, in turn helping to provide accurate, transparent and reliable results that can be published in high-impact journals.
What randomisation services does NWORTH offer?
NWORTH’s Randomisation System is an in-house, web-based service, available 24 hours a day to provide randomisations via a secure system. The systems we offer use the underlying dynamic adaptive algorithm developed here at the Unit:
