Life Science Development Solutions
With clinical programs becoming increasingly more complex, pharmaceutical and life science companies are faced with new challenges:
- How to make more efficient use of scarce resources
- How to leverage new technologies
- How to mine clinical results to make faster and more informed decisions regarding potential courses of action
These challenges are far-reaching and extend to technologies that support electronic data capture, statistical analysis, bioinformatics and clinical trial management. The key is to ensure that this information informs the organization quickly as to the future prospects of the clinical trials success or failure by collecting, storing, managing and sharing large amounts of clinical data.
Ceiba Solutions is engaged with Life Science companies in this endeavor, providing flexible and customizable applications to help store, integrate, and mine clinical data, and to maximize the potential for better solutions.
Customer Focus Areas
- Dashboards that summarize enrollment, screening and milestone dates; facilitate the assessment of the status of development programs; and enable faster feedback and strategy corrections
- Automated feeds for data exchange between sponsors and CROs to that ensure that up-to-date data is readily available
- Clinical program management to monitor multiple vendors both with a study and across studies
- Integrated non-clinical toxicology and bio-analytical data with clinical data
- Supply chain management to track availability of the drug supply needed to support the trials
- Online management of RFPs and RFIs from bidding vendors
- Management of program-related documents
Case Study Example
Smaller pharmaceutical companies with multiple clinical trials running concurrently with multiple CRO’s require the software tools for the monitoring and managing their drug development programs. Commercially available enterprise solutions are far too expensive, complex, and typically take far too long to implement and deploy. The most critical need is for real-time visibility to important information across multiple groups and businesses.
Ceiba Solutions has received positive feedback on its Dashboard development work, which provides executives with the ability to aggregate development activities across studies, vendors and programs, in order to make go/no-go decisions. Ceiba can implement an integrated application suite that provides summary information about one or multiple clinical trials, and enable program managers to track trial and program progress, identify project resource needs and mitigate any risks that may impact company performance.
