The client is the world’s second-largest clinical research organization (CRO) conducting clinical trials on behalf of its pharmaceutical customers. The company provides biopharmaceutical services and has helped develop approximately 95% of the 200 topselling biopharmaceuticals available in the market. The company works in close unison with the life sciences and pharmaceutical industry to design and deliver clinical trials while ensuring regulatory compliance.
The Challenge
From offering regulatory consulting services to decentralized clinical trial experiences, the client’s therapeutic, technical, and functional capabilities are characterized by a patient-first culture. The company relies on multiple information management systems and tools to leverage real world data for improving patient journeys.
The client needed quick and easy access to integrated patient data across the clinical trials spectrum. This required eliminating data silos in various systems across an organization and reducing the manual effort to extract insights for datadriven decisions. This was critical for creating a one-stop view of drug verification across studies for different cohorts, locations, phases, and specialties for pharma companies.
The Solution
The client partnered with Persistent to develop a central framework for enterprise data integration and an effective data lake that would enable them to centralize information from disparate data sources and improve accessibility while ensuring security, quality, and integrity of data.
Persistent established end-to-end ownership of Clinical Trial Operations Reporting (CTOR) based on Azure Data Platform to deliver a single source of truth. We created Dashboards for key metrics for individual studies as well as for studies at the account, portfolio and executive levels across the project lifecycle, financial management, resource management, quality management, and compliance / safety.
The Outcome
The solution enabled the client to consolidate 3,000 Trials across reporting and platform and create 15 consolidated reports that provided datadriven insights into the progress of trials. Leveraging accelerators, the client was able to speed up time to market for enhancing patient care outcomes.
