VHIO’s Statistics Unit implements innovative biostatistical methodologies to optimize study design, data analysis and interpretation to enhance clinical and preclinical research.
Collaborating with research groups across multiple clinical trials and observational studies, we participate in various stages of research from experimental design through to data analysis and visualization and ultimately publication. Areas of focus include sample size calculation, statistical design of clinical trials, multi-state modelling, survival analyses, cost-utility analysis, and systematic reviews and meta-analyses.
Our Unit facilitates the design and initiation of VHIO investigator-initiated studies as well as new adaptive phase I/II clinical trial designs. We work closely with researchers on the design and publication of results from various VHIO-led clinical studies as well as validating the prognostic value of new tests and cancer biomarkers. In addition, we optimize real-world data to generate new insights beyond the context of clinical trials.
Our team participates in several different European and national projects aimed at developing and implementing novel statistical designs. We also work to enhance dose-escalation study designs to optimize dose selection in oncology drug development. Furthermore, we continue to evaluate the potential of synthetic control arms to compare the effectiveness of single-arm trials.
