Core Service Pillar 2

Statistical Data Analysis & Biometrics Synergy

Eliminating the costly disconnect between biostatistical programming and clinical narrative authoring. We speak fluent biometrics to ensure first-time-right outputs.

Our Core Differentiator

Why Clinical Submissions Falter at the Biostats Interface

In most drug development programs, Data Management (DM), Biostatistical Programming, and Medical Writing operate in rigid silos. Medical writers wait passively for months until the Database Lock (DBL) to receive hundreds of Tables, Listings, and Figures (TLFs).

When the writers finally examine the tables, they discover that key subgroup comparisons are missing, patient disposition categories are inconsistent with the protocol, or statistical models fail to address regulatory endpoints. The result: frantic ad-hoc re-runs, programming delays, and blown submission timelines.

Kensai Health flips this paradigm. We partner upstream with your internal biostatisticians or external CRO programming vendors, auditing Statistical Analysis Plans (SAPs) and Mock TLF shells long before the data freeze.

The Kensai Data Synergy Edge

  • ✓ Upstream SAP & Shell Co-Design: Ensuring table layouts answer exact regulatory questions.
  • ✓ Pre-DBL Dry Runs: Auditing blind dummy tables to catch data anomalies before lock.
  • ✓ Vendor & Sub-CRO Oversight: Managing external biostats vendors to budget and milestones.
  • ✓ CDISC SDTM / ADaM Fluency: Alignment between electronic datasets and CSR narratives.
Biometrics Capabilities

Integrated Statistical Services & Vendor Leadership

📐

SAP & Mock TLF Co-Design

We review draft Statistical Analysis Plans (SAPs) and Mock Shells with an author's eye. We ensure that efficacy endpoints (primary, secondary, exploratory), safety tables, and demographic summaries are structured logically for CSR authoring.

  • • Analysis population definitions (ITT, PP, Safety)
  • • Handling missing data & sensitivity analyses
  • • Subgroup and stratified covariate specifications
🔍

Pre-DBL Dry Runs & Query Resolution

We participate actively in Blind Data Reviews and dry-run table generations before Database Lock (DBL). By testing dummy data against draft CSR shells, we identify programming ambiguities and raise real-time data management queries early.

  • • Blind data review participation
  • • Zero-delay post-DBL writing rollout
  • • Proactive query tracking with data managers
🤝

Biostats Vendor & CRO Oversight

Drawing on over two decades of experience evaluating and managing third-party contractors, Kensai Health assists sponsors in issuing RFPs, assessing statistical capabilities, negotiating vendor work orders, and keeping external CROs accountable to delivery dates.

  • • Vendor RFP preparation and scoring
  • • Scope definition & change-order mitigation
  • • Timeline governance and budget forecasting
📊

CDISC SDTM & ADaM Coordination

Global health authorities (US FDA and EMA) mandate standardized CDISC datasets. We coordinate with statistical programmers to verify that ADaM analysis datasets and Reviewer Guides (ADRG/SDRG) reflect the clinical narrative seamlessly.

  • • Dataset traceability (raw → SDTM → ADaM)
  • • Define.xml metadata verification
  • • eCTD electronic submission compliance
📈

Complex Data Interpretation & Modeling

We translate intricate biostatistical models—such as Kaplan-Meier survival estimates, Cox proportional hazards, mixed-effects models (MMRM), and logistic regressions—into clear, intuitive medical narratives.

  • • Oncology endpoints: OS, PFS, ORR, DOR
  • • Non-inferiority and superiority margins
  • • Forest plots and hazard ratio interpretations
🔬

Quantitative Research & Ad-Hoc Analytics

We support sponsors with exploratory post-hoc data analyses, bibliometric mappings, and quantitative synthesis for peer-reviewed journal submissions and health technology assessments.

  • • Post-hoc exploratory analyses
  • • Real-World Evidence (RWE) summaries
  • • Meta-analytical data pooling
The Kensai Advantage

Traditional CRO vs. Kensai Collaborative Model

How proactive biostats synergy saves sponsors weeks of critical path timeline.

Traditional CRO Approach

  • ✕ Medical writers wait passively until database lock without seeing shells.
  • ✕ Missing endpoints or formatting issues discovered weeks after unblinding.
  • ✕ Multiple rounds of emergency SAS re-runs causing budget creep.
  • ✕ Disjointed communication between programming CRO and sponsor clinicians.

The Kensai Collaborative Model

  • ✓ Active medical writing review of SAP & mock shells before programming.
  • ✓ Pre-DBL blind data dry runs eliminate table anomalies upfront.
  • ✓ Writing commences the moment the database unblinds, saving 3–6 weeks.
  • ✓ Fluent biometrics bridge that unites clinicians, statisticians, and programmers.
