4. • Responsible for managing the life cycle of clinical data from collection to their delivery for
statistical analysis in support of regulatory activities.
• Primarily focuses on dataflows and data integrity (i.e., data is managed the right way).
Clinical Data Management

Clinical Data Science
• Evolution of Clinical Data Management.
• Encompasses processes, domain expertise, technologies, data analytics and Good Clinical
Data Management Practices essential to prompt decision making throughout the life cycle of
Clinical Research.
• The strategic discipline enabling the execution of complex protocol designs in a patient
centric, data driven and risk-based approach ensuring subject protection as well as the
reliability and credibility of trial results.

Primary Endpoint:
The average change in CAT Score in participants administered BOTOX compared to placebo at Day 28 from Day 1 (baseline).
Primary Endpoint:
The change in CAT Score will be summarized using mean, standard deviation, standard error, 95% confidence interval, minimum, 25th
percentile, median, 75th percentile and maximum. The change in participants’ CAT Scores will be calculated as the CAT Score on Day
28 minus the CAT Score at Day 1 (Baseline). Distribution and average CAT Scores, and change thereof, will be presented graphically
using boxplots and/or error bar diagrams. The significant difference between the mean or median change of CAT Score will be
assessed using a two-sided independent samples t test or Mann-Whitney U test, depending on data distribution. The level of
significance for this analysis will be set to 0.05.
Sample size calculation is based on the primary endpoint using the following assumption:
• CAT score reduction from D1 to D28 is at least 2 units more in BOTOX arm compared to placebo
• standard deviation (SD) of the difference is 2 units
• 80% statistical power
• significance level α=0.05, two-sided testing
A sample size of 17 per arm (34 in total) is sufficient to achieve 80% power to reject the null hypothesis that the mean difference of a
change in CAT Score of 2 ± 2 units using a significance level (alpha) 0.05 using a two-sided independent samples t test. Considering a
15% dropout rate, the final sample size is 20 participants per study arm (40 participants in total).
