Medidata’s Next Generation Site Selection and Operational Benchmarking Tools Generally Available

Targeted therapies create new opportunities for patients, but can require complex trial design to achieve their promise. These studies highlight the importance of working with the best clinical trial sites, and managing enrollment and key operational performance indicators (KPIs) in clinical development. Furthermore, regardless of study complexity, sponsors and CROs can struggle finding up-to-date, objective, quantitative sources of data on site performance and operational metrics, both within their organizations and across the industry.

For over 19 years, Medidata’s unified platform has powered some of the most advanced clinical trials in the world. Today, Medidata (NASDAQ: MDSO) is taking a step further to offer the most complete data and analytics capabilities in clinical research, with new predictive analytics and benchmarking in Edge Study Feasibility and MEDS Perform.

Both capabilities, now generally available, are built on MEDS - the Medidata Enterprise Data Store. MEDS is the most modern, scalable data backbone available in research, and allows sponsors and CROs to collaborate in a "give-to-get” model, powering cross-sponsor, cross-study analytics.

Edge Study Feasibility accelerates patient enrollment, leveraging industry-wide de-duplicated master site data in MEDS, recommending the best sites based on their historical performance, industry experience and current study participation, inducing the use of weighted multivariate predictive models.

MEDS Perform enables research teams to measure, manage and improve operational execution across their entire portfolio of studies. Objective KPIs are automatically calculated by MEDS Perform, allowing data management and clinical operations teams to understand their own performance in the context of broader industry study execution, regardless of sponsor or CRO.

‘’Data and analytics are not only optimizing clinical research, but transforming it. The capabilities we are bringing to the market with MEDS and our investments in Data Science, inclusive of natural language processing, master data management, and predictive modeling in these cases, enable study teams to excel in creating smarter treatments,’’ said Glen de Vries, co-founder and president, Medidata. "We’re excited about the transformative impact our platform is having on clinical development, both scientifically and operationally.”
