Biostatistics & Clinical Trial Methodology · Copenhagen

Statistical design, analysis, and reporting for trials and registry research.

Frameshift is a biostatistics consultancy supporting biotech sponsors, CROs, and academic research groups. We deliver statistical analysis plans, clinical study reports, and publication-ready outputs, from protocol to manuscript.

Who we are

Statistics first.

We are methodologists. Study design, analysis plans, and interpretation follow from the statistics, not the other way around.

How we help

Shaping the question and analysis

We work with teams that have data and broad objectives, and want to shape clear analytical paths. That often means clarifying what can credibly be supported and which analyses are worth pursuing.

Statistical planning and trial analysis

Clear, decision-ready SAPs, trial analyses, and reporting that defines estimands, endpoints, population, and strategy from the outset. Costs tend to surface from ambiguity.

Registry and real-world evidence

Design and execution of observational studies using health registers and other real-world data. Credible results rely on attention to bias, timing, and comparability.
