Clinical Data Management and Statistical Rescue Services in Clinical Trials

Clinical Data Management and Statistical Rescue Services in Clinical Trials

In the fast-paced world of clinical trials, efficiency, accuracy, and adherence to timelines are essential. However, not all CROs meet the high expectations of trial sponsors. When such deficiencies arise, sponsors are often faced with delays, increased costs, and potential regulatory risks. This white paper discusses the critical role of rescue services in clinical trials, focusing on how they can salvage underperforming studies, restore sponsor confidence, and ensure the successful completion of trials.

An Introduction to Clinical Data Warehousing

Metronomia Whitepaper - Clinical Data Warehouse

The amount of data produced in clinical trials has grown significantly over the past few years. At the same time, reporting and monitoring requirements have become more elaborate. It is not surprising, therefore, that sponsors of clinical trials, biotech and pharmaceutical companies alike, are showing greater interest in the concept of a clinical data warehouse (CDW). In this whitepaper we present the core design principles and use cases of CDWs.

The Data Science CRO Advantage

Metronomia Whitepaper: The Data Science CRO Advantage

In today’s rapidly evolving pharmaceutical and biotechnology sectors, the complexities of clinical trials have grown exponentially. Companies are constantly seeking ways to optimize their operations, reduce costs, and ensure the highest quality standards in their studies. Amid these challenges, a specialized approach to outsourcing has gained significant traction: the partnership with a Data Science Contract Research Organization (CRO). This paper explores the benefits of engaging a Data Science CRO and how it can enhance clinical development, particularly for biotech companies.

Benefits of Bayesian Optimal Interval (BOIN) Design for Early-phase Oncology Trials 

Metronomia Whitepaper: Benefits of Bayesian Optimal Interval (BOIN) Design for Early-phase Oncology Trials | Page 1 Benefits of Bayesian Optimal Interval (BOIN) Design for Early-phase Oncology Trials

Early-phase oncology trials, particularly Phase I trials, typically determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) to ensure patient safety. While the traditional 3+3 design is common for its simplicity, the Bayesian Optimal Interval (BOIN) design offers greater flexibility and efficiency. This white paper explores the advantages of the BOIN design and compares it to the 3+3 approach using practical examples.
