The CTSG Statistics team analyses and advises on all statistical elements of MORU’s clinical trials.

The CTSG Statistics team works closely with key researchers to develop the study’s statistics plan, ensuring that data capture and recording methods are suitable and that planned analysis is frequent and robust enough to meet the study’s objectives.

During a clinical trial, interim statistical analyses are key to on-going progress. The CTSG Statistics and Data Management teams work closely with project leads to undertake periodic reviews. When trials are under oversight by a Data Safety Monitoring Board, the Statistics Team prepares appropriate reports. 

Upon trial completion, the Statistics team prepares for publication the full statistical analysis of data collected during the trial. This enables critical insight and evaluation to inform further research questions.
