Data-agnostic expertise

From early development to commercialization, you need the right data to support your evidence needs. Whereas some providers are limited by the datasets they use, our fit-for-purpose, data-agnostic real-world evidence expertise allows us to apply our knowledge of all relevant datasets to provide strategic advice and better demonstrate the value of your products.

    For 16 years, we have:
  • Curated an international team of 100+ RWE specialists in epidemiology, biostatistics, analytics and automation, and pharmacoepidemiology and safety
  • Comprehended the strengths and limitations of global real-world data (RWD) sources across therapeutic areas, having utilized 40+ unique data sources on behalf of clients
  • Established deep knowledge of global markets and payer/regulator needs
  • Secured impactful results for hundreds of life sciences companies
  • Established a powerful reputation for scientific rigor and methodological expertise
  • Developed peer-reviewed publications across a wide range of therapeutic areas, including in oncology, cardiology, neurology, infectious diseases, respiratory, and hematology. See our publications list for examples.

Real-world evidence disciplines
  • Epidemiology
    Our epidemiologists are subject matter experts who offer scientific leadership throughout a project, including planning, executing and communicating the study design, applying appropriate methodology, and interpreting the results for all RWE deliverables.
    Our experts can assess the strengths and limitations of any RWE study, including the choice of data sources.

  • Biostatistics
    Experts in the statistical methodology used in clinical and RWE studies, our biostatisticians work within our multidisciplinary teams to deliver subject matter expertise on study design, methodology, and result interpretation.
    With a focus on mitigating potential bias, developing statistical analysis plans using the latest methodology, and providing oversight to ensure results are of the highest quality.

Enhance your external control arm (ECA) study design

We offer a multidisciplinary team with years of experience in external control arm study design and execution. Our team brings a deep understanding of the common criticisms raised by reviewers; a strong track record of scientific leadership in this area; and a data-agnostic approach that ensures we use only fit-for-purpose data.

Flexible Integrated Teams (FIT)

Real-world evidence research partnerships reimagined

If your real-world evidence (RWE) studies would benefit from an agile relationship, our optional FIT engagement model provides access to tailored, cross-functional teams that integrate seamlessly within your own team to supplement existing resources or fill experience gaps.

Whether you need epidemiologists, analysts, biostatisticians, automation experts, or a broad mix of RWE expertise, the size and composition of your FIT can gradually evolve or pivot quickly to meet your changing needs, all without the costly delays involved in adjusting a statement of work.
