Medidata Brings Intelligent Design to Clinical Trials

This Health Industry Insights Perspective provides insights on an eClinical solution that is a powerful tool to more efficiently and effectively develop the underlying protocols for clinical trials. Medidata Designer is a clinical trial design solution that goes beyond optimizing electronic data capture (EDC) by providing more intelligent insights into the processes and procedures that holistically comprise a clinical trial protocol. By leveraging its extensive database of detailed clinical procedural data, the offering has the ability to quantify anticipated project cost and duration, in part based on specific resource contributions from trial procedures. By creating a single place where protocol writers can go to look at structural guidelines for protocols along with the key underlying procedures, it becomes possible to more intelligently design a clinical trial while also more accurately predicting and anticipating trial costs and efforts expended.
