Gastroenterology and Hepatology Medical Writing and Statistics

Pubrica supports sponsors and investigators in gastroenterology and hepatology with medical writing, statistical analysis and regulatory documentation. Typical projects include trials with endoscopic and histological endpoints, fibrosis studies, microbiome research and registry cohorts. We prepare protocols, analysis plans, clinical study reports and manuscripts, with scoring to a named, validated index with central reading and clear reporting of how surrogate endpoints relate to clinical outcome. A designated project lead coordinates the protocol, statistical analysis plan, clinical study report and publications to keep data interpretation and messaging consistent.

In this areaOne designated project lead

The reporting guideline and extension depend on your study design. We confirm them during the free scoping read.

Every project includes
  • Writers matched to the therapy area
  • One designated project lead
  • Reporting guideline confirmed
  • Mutual NDA on request
  • You remain the sponsor

Therapy Area Scope

Gastroenterology and hepatology study types, standards and endpoints

Each therapy area has its own typical study designs, reporting guidelines and endpoint questions. We assign a lead who has worked in gastroenterology and hepatology, so documents follow the right standards from the start.

Study types

Typical study types

Trials with endoscopic and histological endpoints, fibrosis studies, microbiome work and registry cohorts.

Reporting standards

Guidelines we apply

CONSORT 2025; STROBE for cohorts; histology and endoscopy scoring to a named, validated index with central reading.

Key endpoint question

What reviewers examine closely

Whether a histological or endoscopic surrogate predicts clinical outcome well enough to support the claim.

Common Review Points

Common review points in gastroenterology and hepatology submissions

These are issues that reviewers and payers often raise in gastroenterology and hepatology. We check for them while preparing documents so they can be addressed before submission.

Points we check

Common reviewer findingWithout central reading, locally assigned scores vary between readers, and this variation can obscure the treatment effect.
Payer evidence needsPayers ask for evidence of durable remission, not induction alone, and dossiers often focus on induction.
Guideline checkIncluded in every free scoping read: an item-by-item check that the guideline extension your design requires has been applied
Consistency checkA check that the clinical overview, study report and publications present consistent data and conclusions

Our Services

Services for gastroenterology and hepatology programmes

Services are grouped by programme stage. Device and diagnostic work is governed by MDR and IVDR rather than ICH and is covered on the relevant sector pages.

Services can be commissioned individually or as a programme. A designated project lead coordinates the documents to keep data interpretation and messaging consistent.

How it works

Our five-step process, starting with a free scoping read

We review your programme before we provide a quote.

One

Scoping read

Free, within two business days. We assess what the programme needs, who would lead it and the likely cost.

Two

Project lead assigned

A lead who has worked in the therapy area is assigned before work starts and stays with the project throughout.

Three

Outline approval

You approve each section and its sources before drafting begins.

Four

Draft and review

Each draft goes through independent review, quality control and reference verification, each signed off separately.

Five

Handover

You receive the deliverable with its working material. Revisions are included within the agreed scope.

After

Follow-up questions

Questions on a document are answered by the writer who prepared it.

Our experts

The team for gastroenterology and hepatology projects

Writers are assigned by therapy area, not by availability. They hold a master’s degree or doctorate in life sciences, medicine or pharmacy and have at least five years of experience. Regulatory writers work to the guidance that governs each document.

Team roles

Packages

Quotes based on programme scope, not page count

Documents of the same length can involve very different work, so we do not price by word count. The free scoping read gives you a programme quote you can use for budgeting.

First

Scoping read

A free written assessment of what the programme needs, within two business days.

Then

A written scope

Documents, standards, named team and timeline, agreed before work starts.

Quoted

Per programme

One price for the agreed scope, with revisions within the agreed scope included rather than billed per round.

Gastroenterology & hepatology FAQs

Common questions about gastroenterology and hepatology projects

Yes. We assign a lead who has worked in gastroenterology and hepatology and is familiar with whether histological and endoscopic surrogates predict clinical outcome. They can identify likely reviewer questions before drafting begins. If no one on our panel is a suitable match, we will tell you and decline the work.

It depends on your study design rather than the indication. In gastroenterology and hepatology, this is typically: CONSORT 2025; STROBE for cohorts; histology and endoscopy scoring to a named, validated index with central reading. We confirm the correct guideline during the free scoping read, because revising a completed report to a different guideline is much harder.

Without central reading, locally assigned scores vary between readers, and this variation can obscure the treatment effect. We check for this on every gastroenterology and hepatology programme before submission so it can be corrected early.

Payers ask for evidence of durable remission, not induction alone, and dossiers often focus on induction. We flag this during the scoping read, while the evidence plan can still be adjusted.

Yes. A designated project lead coordinates the protocol, statistical analysis plan, clinical study report and publications to keep data interpretation and messaging consistent. Health-authority questions are answered by the writer of the document concerned.

We do not operate your pharmacovigilance system. We write the risk management plan and periodic reports, but case processing and reporting to authorities remain within your own PV system under your qualified person. We do not conduct trials, audit or certify GCP or GMP compliance, or claim authorship of your research. You remain the sponsor throughout.
