| The Clinical Trials Statistics group at the
DCRI represents a blend of both Duke University faculty- and
nonfaculty-level statisticians and statistical programmers,
including:
• 8 full-time Duke University faculty statisticians
• 32 non-faculty statisticians (5 with PhDs, 25 with
master’s degrees, and 2 with bachelor’s degrees)
• 11 statistical programmers
• 3 part-time faculty-level consultants
The statistics group provides full-service statistical operations
for multicenter trials in various therapeutic areas. Each
trial is assigned a lead statistician responsible for coordinating
the statistical needs of the project, a faculty or senior
statistician serving in an advisory and reviewing role, and
one or more statistical programmers.
In addition, expanding databases residing at the DCRI provide
a rich and sizable resource that can aid development of current
assumptions for future clinical trials, as well as answer
secondary clinical questions of interest to clients, physicians,
and the larger medical community.
Statisticians performing analyses for secondary interests
work in close collaboration with physicians and sponsors worldwide
to assist in correct interpretation of results. Our analyses
are used to produce abstracts and presentations at major medical
meetings, as well as publication in the top medical journal
articles. No other research organization in the world can
match the DCRI’s dedication to disseminating research
results that stand up to the most stringent scrutiny.
