Medicines

ClinSearch has a reputation for providing efficient and affordable clinical research solutions. But besides clinical trials, many other research methods can provide valuable information along the lifetime of a healthcare product. Observational designs, for instance, can document its real-life performance and meta analysis can strengthen a body of knowledge about a drug. ClinSearch teams have a long experience of such investigations. Please see our offer below.

Pharmacoepidemiology

Epidemiological methods represent a precious toolbox for the study of a drug in the context of its actual use. Here are a few common applications of these methods.

• Cohort studies are an irreplaceable way to document real-life performance and safety of a drug.
• Case-control studies may be a great help in investigating rare adverse events.
• Cross-sectional surveys may be used to precise the epidemiology of a condition, for instance to identify the target population of a drug.

Diagnosis and outcome assessment research

Sometimes there is no satisfactory way to characterise a condition or assess the outcome of a health intervention for research purpose. A new measurement tool must then be developed. Our services, in this area, include:

• Development and validation of questionnaires, scales and indexes,
• Translation and cultural validation of foreign questionnaires,
• Diagnosis accuracy studies,
• Evaluation of screening programs,
• Clinical decision analysis.

Systematic review and meta analysis

A well conducted systematic review can add substantial value to a body of knowledge about a biopharmaceutical product by generating high level evidence. Such evidence is a valuable material for regulatory purposes or for scientific and medical communication. ClinSearch medical scientists, biostatisticians and writers team up to deliver state-of-the-art systematic reviews for your products.
