By GlobalDataThe Intelligent Trials module will offer a competitive edge in the planning and execution of clinical trials by bringing together predictive models, cross-industry real-time performance metrics, and forecasting capabilities.
Its addition, it will also enable sponsors and CROs to set goals by benchmarking diversity at the study level in the same indication.
The Intelligent Trials offering from Medidata further supports the draft guidance issued by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to the industry.
This guidance was released to develop plans for enrolling more participants from underrepresented racial and ethnic populations in the country into clinical trials.
In June this year, Medidata introduced new clinical operations technologies for addressing key issues related to the management and oversight of clinical trials.
