Staburo took part in the BVMA symposium on 23 November 2018, at the Sheraton Arabellapark Hotel, here in Munich.

The BVMA represents the interests of its German CRO members. BVMA members maintain a lively exchange of information on topics that important to the German CRO industry, e.g. on questions of liability and insurance, education and training, quality requirements and trends in the pharmaceutical and CRO industry.

This year it was the 26. BVMA symposium, the get-together took place on 22 November 2018, also at the Sheraton Hotel (after an exceptional anniversary last year in the “Deutsches Museum”).

The symposium topic was “Real World Data, Social Media and Data Protection – Quo vadis?” (e.g. AI, RWE, Healthcare Apps), but also relevant regulatory and policy changes in clinical studies were presented and discussed.

We were very happy to learn more about the needs of current and future partners in Biostatistics  – thanks to the excellent networking sessions. We thank the BVMA for the organisation of this great event and for the invitation!

Staburo @ BIOM Workshop „Medical Writing in Clinical Trials“

Medical writers aim to communicate complex clinical and scientific information clearly to a variety of target audiences.

One important application of medical writing is the field of clinical trials and drug development.

The BioM workshop focused on the main task of medical writers in this area: regulatory writing. Examples were given, how to write effective clinical study protocols (CSP) and clinical study reports (CSR) and how transparency and disclosure impact clinical trial documents. According to the speakers, good project management and teamwork are crucial for producing high quality documents, since CSP and CSR writing is a complex process. Moreover, excellent writing is essential so that health authorities can judge the risks and benefits of a drug, a clinical program or a healthcare product.

The hands-on exercises “Protocol writing management” and “Anonymisation techniques” enabled attendees to experience the “bread and butter” activities of a medical writer. After the exercises, results were discussed and useful tools and practical approaches were given.

The “Medical Writing in Clinical Trials” workshop provided Staburo with a vivid insight into the daily life of a medical writer and also offered a chance to interact with other BioM event participants.

Since Staburo also offers to deliver statistical reports (standalone or as part of the CSR), this workshop will probably increase speed and quality of our services.

Dr. Nicole Krämer, project leader precision medicine and biomarkers, was invited to talk about precision medicine at the idalab seminar. In the talk, she discussed how data science may identify biomarkers that help patients choose their best treatment option.

After the talk, there was the opportunity to get together with the audience and discuss this exciting topic.
