Respiratory Medical Writing, Statistics and Regulatory Documentation

Pubrica supports sponsors and clinical research teams in respiratory medicine with medical writing, statistical analysis, regulatory documentation and publications. Typical projects include trials with spirometry and exacerbation endpoints, inhaled device studies in which the device and the molecule are assessed together, and real-world effectiveness cohorts. We prepare protocols, statistical analysis plans, clinical study reports, CTD summaries and manuscripts, and analyse exacerbation rates with count models that account for over-dispersion and differing follow-up time. A designated project lead coordinates the protocol, analysis plan, study report and publications to keep data interpretation and messaging consistent.

Scope of Work

Respiratory study types, guidelines and analysis issues

Respiratory programmes combine lung-function and exacerbation endpoints with inhaler device documentation. The study design determines which reporting guideline applies and which analysis points reviewers and payers focus on.

Typical study types

Typical study types

Trials with lung-function and exacerbation endpoints, inhaled device studies and real-world effectiveness cohorts.

Reporting guidelines

Guidelines and extensions applied

CONSORT 2025 for trials, STROBE for cohorts, and device documentation where the inhaler is part of the product.

Key analysis issue

Points reviewers examine closely

Exacerbation rate analysis: whether the count model accounts for over-dispersion and differing follow-up time.

Common review points

Common review points in respiratory submissions

Respiratory dossiers and manuscripts are often questioned on the points below. We check each one on every programme in this area before documents are filed.

Points we check before filing

Common review findingExacerbations analysed as simple rates without adjusting for differing exposure time, which can overstate or understate the treatment effect.
Payer evidence needsPayers ask about adherence and inhaler handling, which trial conditions rarely reflect and dossiers often do not address.
Reporting guideline checkIncluded in the free scoping read: an item-by-item check that the required guideline extension has been applied
Cross-document consistency checkConfirms that the clinical overview, study report and publications present the results consistently

Services for this area

Services for respiratory programmes

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

Services can be ordered individually or as a programme. A designated project lead coordinates the documents so that data and messaging stay consistent.

Our compliance and guideline standards

Guidelines applied at the current edition

Each deliverable names the guideline and extension your design requires, and the edition used. Writing to the current edition reduces the risk of findings linked to superseded guidance.

How it works

Five steps, starting with a free scoping read

We review your programme before providing a quote.

One

Scoping read

Free, within two business days: what the programme needs, who would lead it and the expected cost.

Two

Named lead

A lead matched to the indication is assigned before work starts and coordinates the programme throughout.

Three

Outline approval

Every section and its source, approved before drafting.

Four

Drafting and review

Independent review, QC and reference verification, each signed off separately.

Five

Handover

The deliverable with its working material, revised within the agreed scope.

After

Follow-up questions

Reviewer and health-authority questions are answered by the writer of the document.

Our Experts

Who works on respiratory projects

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

Team roles

Packages

Priced per programme, not per page

A 4,000-word study report and a 4,000-word overview involve different work, so we do not price by word count. The free scoping read gives you a programme-level figure for your budget.

First

Scoping read

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

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 included within the agreed scope rather than billed per round.

Respiratory FAQs

Questions from respiratory teams

Yes. Leads are assigned by indication and have worked in this area. They know that exacerbation rate analysis, including over-dispersion and differing follow-up time, is a frequent review point and address it before the document is written, not after it comes back. If no one on our panel is a suitable match, we tell you and decline the project.

The study design determines the guideline, not the indication. For respiratory work this is usually CONSORT 2025 for trials, STROBE for cohorts, and device documentation where the inhaler is part of the product. We confirm the applicable extension in the free scoping read, because revising a finished report to a different guideline is harder than writing to it from the start.

Exacerbations analysed as simple rates without adjusting for differing exposure time, which can overstate or understate the effect. We check this on every respiratory programme before filing, when it is easier and less costly to correct.

Payers ask about adherence and inhaler handling, which trial conditions rarely reflect and dossiers often do not address. The scoping read identifies this early, 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 stay 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.
