Business case

A global pharmaceutical company clinical trials department was putting in a lot of manual effort in monitoring significant quality events (SQEs’). These are the events that may occur during the trial which impact the study or push the timelines of the entire trial. The subject matter experts (SMEs’) had to manually access the database and study the entire clinical trials records to identify details of an SQE event. The raw information was lengthy which made the whole process tedious and time-consuming.

 The SMEs were also not able to get any insights to understand the reason, trends and patterns from the historical SQE data. The client approached i2e to reduce the manual effort in monitoring SQEs and design an analytics system for the SQE data. They even wanted an algorithm to identify protocols at risk.

Challenges overcome

  • The data was stored in various tables, collecting it for AI work was challenging
  • Cleaning the massive clinical trials data to fit the summary structure provided by the SMEs
  • Training various Machine Learning models to find the optimum one

Benefits

  • SMEs are able to understand SQEs quickly and easily
  • Manual effort in reading the chunk of clinical trials data is eliminated
  • The Clinical trials team is able to get insights from the historical data of SQEs
  • Predictive analytics reduced the number of retraining sessions
  • ML predictions helped improve the success rate of protocol design saving time and cost.
