Published: January 6th, 2026

Phastar partnered with a biotechnology sponsor to manage statistical and data management activities for a late-stage clinical study in Parkinson’s disease. The project involved distributed teams, complex neurosurgical procedures, and questionnaire-driven endpoints—all under tight budget oversight. 

Key Challenges: 

  • Global team coordination across multiple time zones 
  • Limited internal statistical and data management expertise 
  • Complex CRF design for neurosurgical injections and questionnaire-based endpoints 
  • Need for strict oversight and cost control 

Our Approach: 

  • Scheduled cross-time-zone meetings to maximize participation and maintain momentum 
  • Provided clear, proactive explanations to support sponsor understanding at each stage 
  • Conducted detailed multidisciplinary reviews of complex CRF pages 
  • Ensured strict adherence to the project timeline to minimize rework and control budget impact 

Outcome: 

The study progressed smoothly, earning strong praise from all stakeholders. The sponsor commended Phastar’s professionalism, attention to detail, and proactive approach, noting significant improvements in collaboration, clarity, and project efficiency.
