Clinical studies are complex, so involving biostatisticians early in the product development has major benefits for the quality of data collected and how it can be used.
The main goal of any clinical study is to make the best-informed decision based on data and sophisticated biostatistical analyses. In too many cases there are far too many data points gathered. As biostatistics teams are the ones who handle this vast data, their guidance is crucial at all stages of product development planning.
There are a variety of benefits to involving a biostatistics team in these early stages. For…
