Companies involved in healthcare, life sciences, and clinical research often rely on insightful data products to navigate their markets. As these companies grow, the need for specialized external support for secondary data collection, sourcing, and reporting services becomes critical. Here we examine the various ways in which custom research methodologies benefit clinical data research services.
Ascentrik Research stands out by offering deeply customized clinical data research services that provide a significantly higher return on investment than standard, off-the-shelf data solutions.
In the dynamic world of clinical research, access to precise, verified, and timely data is paramount. Many research companies develop sophisticated data products, but maintaining a constant flow of high-quality, niche data can be challenging. This is where Ascentrik's unique approach to clinical data research services proves invaluable.
We understand that your data product is unique, and so are your data requirements. Unlike providers who offer generic data sets, Ascentrik specializes in building bespoke data and intelligence tailored to your company's specific needs, helping you rise above the competition.
The Ascentrik Advantage: Human-Driven, Custom Data Sourcing

Fresh Data for Every Project: We don't rely on stored databases. Instead, we freshly build them from the ground up for each client, ensuring the most current and relevant information.
Tailored Sourcing Methodologies: Our custom data sourcing approach is meticulously tailored to each client's unique needs, going beyond standard collection methods.
Seamless Integration: Our team adapts and learns how to integrate data directly into your software product, ensuring a smooth and efficient workflow.
Rigorous Quality Assurance: Multiple quality checks are embedded throughout our process, guaranteeing that our data is of very high quality and integrity. This is crucial for clinical data validation.
Dedicated Research Team: We provide a team of full-time data researchers dedicated to your project, ensuring consistent focus and expertise.
Constant Communication and Support: Our team is always available for communication and support, working as true data partners and providing 360-degree support that extends beyond just building databases.
Comprehensive Reporting on Clinical Data: From Trials to Clinical Study Reports
Ascentrik Research excels in reporting on clinical data, offering comprehensive services that span various aspects of clinical research. We perform secondary research on clinical trials, drawing information from clinical data registries and other vital sources.
Our research spans from clinical trials to clinical study reports. From our research on Clinical Study Report (CSR), we are able to report on:
Details on the methodology, including changes to the protocol.
The results, including efficacy and safety data, statistical analysis, and interpretation.
Adverse events that occurred during the trial.
Conclusions about the study drug's efficacy and safety.
Appendices with further details, tables, figures, listings, and sometimes subject narratives for serious adverse events.
Clinical Trials Data Sourcing
Our clinical trials data sourcing involves a meticulous process of identifying and collecting data to support your research objectives. We source information on:
The effects of new drugs, therapies, or devices on patients.
The safety and effectiveness of promising advances in patient care.
Observational studies and disease prevention studies.
Our sourcing extends to a wide array of crucial data points, including:
Scientific Reports and Clinical Trial Registries: such as ClinicalTrials.gov, the WHO International Clinical Trials Registry Platform (ICTRP), the ISRCTN registry, and the NIH's Clinical Trials Reporting Program (CTRP).
Electronic Health Records (EHRs): which are primary sources of clinical data, capturing comprehensive information about patient care and treatment decisions.
Patient-Reported Outcomes: where patients directly report data through electronic devices or portals, capturing their invaluable experiences and symptoms.
Laboratory Results: which is data from lab tests (e.g., blood tests, urine tests) that provide objective measurements.
Imaging Data: which includes images such as X-rays, CT scans, and MRIs for relevant clinical insights.
Medical Device Data: Information from devices like heart rate monitors and glucose monitors.
Administrative Claims Data: from insurance companies can provide information on healthcare utilization.
Study Documentation: which includes the protocol, case report forms (CRFs), and other documents that guide the trial.
Investigator's Records: and any notes or observations made by investigators during the trial.
Secondary Research and Reporting on Patient Trials
Reporting on patient trials is a critical component of our services. We provide comprehensive secondary analysis of all collected data.
This involves documenting and sharing the findings of clinical research involving human participants. We report on things like Trial Registration Analysis, Analyzing Reported Adverse Events to assess drug or therapy safety profiles, providing Insights into how results are Disseminated through various channels.
This deep dive into patient trial data provides valuable context and insights for your data products.
Secondary Research on Clinical Study Reports (CSRs)
Clinical Study Reports (CSRs) are indispensable resources for secondary researchers, often used for regulatory submissions. Ascentrik meticulously studies CSRs submitted to regulatory agencies, which summarize the entire trial, including the study protocol, methodology, results, and analysis. We delve into extensive details within CSRs, including:
The course of treatment for patients.
Medical information collected from patients as part of the research.
Demographic data and other information explaining trial conduct and result analysis.
Reporting on Preclinical Research
Beyond clinical trials, we also provide reporting services on preclinical research, encompassing critical stages such as:
Drug discovery: Insights into the initial identification and characterization of potential therapeutic compounds.
Formulation: Data on how drugs are prepared and designed for optimal delivery.
Safety assessments: Comprehensive reporting on the safety profiles of investigational drugs before human trials.
We offer reporting services covering the discovery, preclinical, and clinical stages of drug development, as well as the intricate process of regulatory approvals.
