Welcome to Berry Consultants
Berry Consultants is a statistical consulting group
specializing in adaptive clinical trial design in pharmaceutical
and medical device research and development. We are leaders in
the
Bayesian approach to medical statistics. This approach is
radically
changing the way research is done throughout the medical
industry (device and drug development). We employ world renown
experts in Bayesian statistics
and strive to set the standard for Bayesian design and analysis
in the statistical and medical communities.
See our "People" page for more about
us.
Can We Help You?
The Bayesian approach provides a mathematically rigorous and principled methodology for making decisions under arbitrarily complex scenarios. It provides a powerful framework for determining optimal behavior in the face of uncertainty. However, most non-trivial Bayesian analyses demand skilled and experienced modeling, and typically entail a significant computational effort that usually require deployment of customized software. We can help if you have a decision to make, uncertainty about how to best craft a development strategy, or a clinical trial to design.
Please see our "Services" page for
details on what we do, and please feel free to contact us for more information.
About Us
Don Berry is a key opinion leader in Bayesian biostatistics, cancer research and policy, and adaptive trial design. Professor Berry has long championed adaptive trials in clinical research. His vision became reality and adaptive designs earned favor by U.S. and international regulating agencies, and more and more companies looked to collaborate with Prof. Berry. To meet this demand, he started Berry Consultants with Scott Berry in 2000. Since then Berry Consultants has designed over 100 unique adaptive trials for medical device, biotech, and pharmaceutical companies.
In addition to Don Berry, along with Scott Berry as
President and principal modeler/programmer, Berry Consultants
includes four full-time statistical
scientists and a variety of
other collaborators to precisely tailor adaptive designs for
each unique company, breakthrough technology, and regulatory
situation.
