CASE STUDY

AI Clinical Trial Support

The Client

A Boston-based, clinical-stage pharmaceutical company with over 200 employees required a greater biological understanding of their multi-modal data in order to stratify patients for an end-of-year clinical trial.

The Challenge

As a small drug developer, understanding and effectively analyzing complex data can be a significant challenge when designing and executing clinical trials. The client faced several challenges:

  • Identify disease prediction biomarkers and uncover other biomarkers to understand drug response outcomes.
  • Understand Target engagement and mechanism of action – when a drug engages the target, identify pathways triggered and the body’s response.
  • Combine data points from different sample sources and complex molecular profiles, including transcriptomics from tissue data and proteomics from plasma and urine.
  • Identify and incorporate public data sources with data generated in-house and academic labs to substantiate findings.
  • Effectively Manage Datasets to enable reproducible analysis and reporting.
