What we do

Three reasons MedTech sponsors hand us their statistics.

From the first sample size question to the final dataset, biometry led by people who know what a reviewer needs to see.

Statistical Analysis Plans and sample size

Device-specific SAPs, primary and secondary endpoints, hypotheses, non-inferiority and equivalence margins, and a sample size and power calculation you can defend.

SAPPower analysisNon-inferiorityEndpoints
Discuss your endpoints

Adaptive and Bayesian design

Sample size re-estimation, interim analyses and DSMB support, with Bayesian methods and historical borrowing where appropriate. Fewer patients, without losing rigour.

Statistical programming and CDISC delivery

SAS and R programming, tables, listings and figures, CDISC SDTM and ADaM datasets, and the statistical sections of the clinical study report, validated and reproducible.

The Eclevar difference

Not a stats vendor. A biometry partner.

Most statistics suppliers hand back numbers. We hand back a defence your Notified Body will accept.

Generic stats vendor

Templates in, tables out. Context optional.

Boilerplate SAPA template lightly edited, with endpoints that do not fit the device.
Sample size by assumptionPower based on round-number guesses, not historical device data.
Black-box programmingDatasets you cannot trace, with no clear CDISC mapping or validation.
Analyses arrive lateInterim looks and the final analysis slip, with no DSMB rhythm.
No reviewer contextStatistics written without ever having sat on the Notified Body side.

Eclevar biometry

Your smart way to compliance, with the methods in the open.

Device-specific SAPEndpoints, hypotheses and margins built around your device and claims.

The people behind the numbers

Biometry, paired with clinical and regulatory depth.

Statistics do not stand alone. Our biometry lead works beside clinicians and former reviewers who define the endpoints that matter.

Frequently asked questions

What sponsors ask before handing over the statistics.

What should a biostatistics CRO deliver for a medical device trial?
A biostatistics CRO should deliver a device-specific Statistical Analysis Plan, a defensible sample size and power calculation, the randomization and blinding scheme, interim analysis and DSMB support, validated statistical programming, CDISC SDTM and ADaM datasets, and the statistical sections of the clinical study report. Eclevar MedTech provides all of these under EU MDR 2017/745, ISO 14155:2026 and 21 CFR Part 11.
Can you write the Statistical Analysis Plan and calculate sample size?
Yes. Our biometry team authors the Statistical Analysis Plan, defines primary and secondary endpoints and hypotheses, sets non-inferiority or equivalence margins where relevant, and calculates sample size and power, anchored to historical device data rather than assumptions.
Do you support adaptive and Bayesian designs to reduce sample size?
Yes. We design adaptive trials with sample size re-estimation and interim analyses, and apply Bayesian methods and historical borrowing where appropriate, which can reduce the number of patients needed while preserving statistical rigour.
Do you deliver CDISC SDTM and ADaM datasets and validated programming?
Yes. We produce CDISC SDTM and ADaM datasets and the tables, listings and figures for the clinical study report, with statistical programming in SAS and R under a 21 CFR Part 11 compliant, validated and reproducible workflow.
Can your statistics support PMCF studies and Clinical Evaluation Reports?
Yes. We provide the statistical methodology and analysis for post-market clinical follow-up studies and real-world evidence, and the statistical input that supports Clinical Evaluation Reports under EU MDR.
Are your analyses ready for Notified Body review?
Yes. Several of our leaders reviewed clinical files inside Notified Bodies, so our Statistical Analysis Plans, methods and outputs are written in the language and rigour reviewers expect, reducing avoidable questions during assessment.
