Accelerating Clinical Trial Decision-Making for Global Pharma

Situation

Our client, a global pharmaceutical company, faced the challenge of evaluating multiple developmental drugs to determine which should be advanced to the next phase of clinical trials. This decision required input from multiple teams across various functional groups within the organization. Given the high stakes involved and financial implications in the millions of dollars, the client sought a solution to streamline and expedite the decision-making process. The objective was to identify the most promising drug candidate to advance while considering all key clinical trial requirements.

Coordinating inputs, aligning on criteria and gathering feedback from stakeholders within the organization were significant hurdles. The client needed a solution that could facilitate collaboration, streamline the decision-making process, and ensure that all critical clinical trial requirements were considered.
