Our Strategy/Objectives

elderbrook’s customized approach simplifies complexity through a range of flexible solutions. Whether it’s staff augmentation or the creation of strategically aligned functional teams, our models are designed to seamlessly integrate with your operations—using either your systems and SOPs or ours.


We go beyond being just a partner; we act as your strategic ally, ensuring you have the skilled personnel you need, exactly when you need them. With a strong focus on quality and scalability, we’re fully equipped to meet the intricate demands of your clinical research, empowering you to move forward with confidence.

  • Full outsourcing of data management and statistical analyses tasks for selected trials. This means that all functions (Trial Data Manager, Trial Programmer, and Trial Statistician) will be supported.
  • Partial outsourcing, we can take responsibility at any point in the process (e.g. from SDTM creation).
  • Outsourcing of dedicated tasks to support peaks on short term notice. This means work packages (e.g. set-up of edit checks, programming of Table/Listing/Figures (TLF), support writing Statistical Analysis Plan) will be supported.
  • FSP support, take specific functional roles for a study in cooperation with the trial team (e.g. Study lead data manager, statistician and programmer).

Data Management

Empowering Precision with Data-Driven Insights

At the forefront of our pharmaceutical innovations, the Data Management Department plays a critical role in ensuring the integrity, accuracy, and accessibility of clinical data.

Our team of dedicated professionals is responsible for the collection, organization, and maintenance of high-quality data throughout the lifecycle of clinical trials

We leverage advanced data management technologies and industry best practices to streamline processes, reduce redundancy, and ensure compliance with regulatory standards.
