1. Statistical Services
From protocol design and statistical analysis plan to clinical study report, a properly-designed clinical trial uses the
analytical power of statistics to understand complex data and assure the validity and quality of the clinical results.
Experienced, dedicated, accessible professionals
Since 2003, Innovative Analytics (IA) has provided comprehensive, high quality statistical
services and support to emerging, mid-size, or large pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and
medical device companies.

2. Case studies
Efficient study design: Listen to the data, collaborate with clinicians, save money
A collaboration between clinicians and attentive IA statisticians on a TQT study led to elimination of one full cohort
from the study design. By working with the clinicians, IA saved the Sponsor and investors time and money.
Regulatory credibility
Innovative Analytics’ experts were called in to help a major pharmaceutical company respond to a “Refuse to File”
notice from the FDA. Within 120 days of the initial contact and after Herculean efforts by the Sponsor and IA,
IA restructured and reanalyzed key safety and efficacy data. The application was updated with re-documented data
set structures and the final application was subsequently accepted by the FDA.
Top line results
A client with a promising product was attempting to woo Japanese investors. Innovative Analytics’ professionals under-
stood their need and their limited window of opportunity. The IA team worked round-the-clock to complete and validate
top line results that were then presented to a potential buyer. The effort succeeded, the client’s company was purchased.
Innovative staffing solutions create efficiencies
Unlike many CROs, IA is willing to offer novel solutions, including resource augmentation, fixed project bids, and
consulting. For example, since 2006, four of our statisticians have been specifically dedicated to four sponsors as each
organization moves their products forward.
