Statistical Consulting Solutions
A dedicated team of biostatisticians providing full-service statistical support across the entire clinical ecosystem.
WCG statisticians are scientific partners who work alongside scientists from other disciplines to develop interventions for the prevention and treatment of disease. By their nature, statisticians question data and design and sometimes challenge whether other possibilities lurk behind the obvious explanations.
We assist biopharmaceutical and medical device sponsors in all statistical areas of trial design and regulatory strategy, including:
Statistical Review of Protocols
SAP Authoring and Review
Final Analysis
Regulatory (FDA/EMA) Meeting Support
Statistician Outsourcing
Analysis Support for Publications and Research Programs
Study Design Support
Due Diligence Review
Clinical Outcome Assessment (COA) Support
Sensitivity Analyses
Simulation Studies
Meta Analysis

Statistical Consulting FAQs
WCG works with our clients throughout the life cycle of study development. Our statisticians provide an experienced perspective on the entire process, starting from the initial stages of defining endpoints, writing protocols, calculating sample sizes, designing case report forms, and continuing to the later phases of analysis, interpretation, and regulatory submission.
We are most effective when we begin working with the study team early in the process, but we also have considerable experience joining project teams during an ongoing study or after an unsuccessful regulatory submission.
WCG often reviews analyses performed by others. We may simply review the methodology to see if it is appropriate for the question asked and the data collected.
We may suggest other methods of analysis that take into consideration the disease under study, the conduct of the trial, or issues with the data. In many cases, clients provide us with the data and we perform our own analyses and write a summary report.
Yes. We have worked with many clients on the statistical analyses for New Drug Application (NDA), Biologics License Application (BLA),, and medical device submissions to the FDA. We also have experience supporting submissions to international Health Authorities (e.g., EMA, MHRA, Health Canada, MHLW, NMPA). We are familiar with Central Data Interchange Standards Consortium (CDISC) data standards and have experienced programmers who can develop SDTM and ADaM datasets along with the required data documentation.
