It has become clear that our industry has reachedthe limits of human-only clinical development. As clinical trials have become increasingly complex, the endeavors that people alone can perform are no longer sufficient to generate the momentum needed to address the growing burden of human disease. This has led to longer drug development timelines and significant delays for patients. One large are of lost time is “white space,” definied simply as unproductive time caused by manual, sequential processes and fragmented data systems. Thankfully, a solution lies in agentic AI and its abilities to perform series of tasks.

According to ClinicalTrials.gov, there are 3,046 multi-country trials being conducted this year. While many trials remain localized within a single country, there has been a definitive movement towards conducting trials in multiple countries, especially for larger, later-stage trials. This is driven by the positives that multi-country trials offer, like faster patient recruitment, lower costs in some regions, and the need for diverse patient populations.. However, behind the scenes, a critical bottleneck has been slowing many trials down. This bottleneck is the translation process that’s required to make trials work across multiple languages, locales, and regulatory bodies/organizations.

A top-3 contract research organization (CRO) and a top-10 pharmaceutical company partnered with Medable to help accelerate the speed, scale, and standardization of their eCOA trials.

The two organizations had been hampered by lengthy configuration timelines, inconsistent designs across studies, and siloed processes between sponsors and their CRO partners.

By centralizing the sponsor’s preferred instruments and configurations into a reusable digital library, Medable enabled the CRO to rapidly accelerate its portfolio development and initiate new studies without starting them “from scratch.”
