Data Analytics & Making Decisions for Better Outcomes

At Devana Solutions, our motto is Better Data, Better Decisions, Better Outcomes. But what exactly does that mean to us—and for you? Let’s take a look at how superior data analytics can make a huge impact on the clinical trial industry as a whole—and your organization in particular.

 

Better Data

We believe complete data transparency is absolutely crucial to clinical trial management. Devana’s cloud-based unified platform allows study teams to securely connect remotely and collaborate in real-time—an essential feature in our era of remote work and decentralized or hybrid trials. To optimize execution, you’ll have the ability to standardize and automate study start-up workflows and connect central research operations teams to decentralized clinicians serving patients in diverse community settings. You can even share “up” to CRO and sponsor partners, ensuring everyone has access to the data they need.

One of our key features to generate superior data includes AI-enhanced auto-email capture and attachment, which links relevant information and documentation to each associated trial, streamlining task management and execution follow-through. Devana also captures start-up/timing metrics and enrollment performance data, whether it’s generated on our platform or via API connections to other systems. It can then display this data on the dashboard, providing leadership and study teams with analysis and action items.

 

Better Decisions

We believe data should work for you, giving you the power to make better-informed decisions. Devana’s centralized business intelligence platform provides access for all stakeholders across the entire research footprint. We leverage information from historic and active trial performance by organization, site, and PI/study team/department—across all indications. With digitized trial opportunities, feasibility distribution, collaboration, and more accurate PI/study team selection and trial feasibility, you’ll see more effective feasibility and trial selection. The Devana platform achieves these results through analyses of therapeutic alignment and your organizational, site/study team and investigator capabilities, as well as your bandwidth. And it provides the real-time trial process and enrollment performance insights your leadership needs to correct bottlenecks and improve trial execution overall. 

 

Better Outcomes

We believe that decisions informed by superior data transparency will produce better outcomes for the clinical trial industry and the patients we serve, period. The Devana platform’s pipeline and study start-up automation, along with its inter-organizational trial communication and collaboration capabilities, saves countless hours previously spent on manual data entry and organization—and reduces human error in the process. With process and performance data transparency, you’ll also see improved accountability across functions and between trial stakeholders.

The right data analytics improve the trial process by matching sites and investigators with the clinical trial opportunities that suit them best. When more reliable PIs and study teams are aligned on the right trials with industry sponsors and CROs, you’ll see the results in increasing predictability of trial performance and more trial opportunities. This reduction in trial cycle time and cost means faster delivery of new therapies to patients.

Let us show you in more detail what Better Data, Better Decisions, Better Outcomes could do for your clinical trial processes.

Countermeasures Acceleration Group — the New Standard for Clinical Trials

Clinical Trials and Operation Warp Speed

248 days. From the time scientists first sequenced the genome of the COVID-19 virus and published it online, it took just 248 days for the clinical trials industry—working closely with government agencies under “Operation Warp Speed,” now known as Countermeasures Acceleration Group (CAG) —to develop two emergency-use vaccines to stem the tide of the pandemic. Other vaccines would be developed soon afterward.

 

With 5.2 million deaths and counting attributed to the COVID-19 pandemic worldwide, the loss of life alone has been staggering. Sadly, the Omicron variant will add to this devastating toll. Despite our desperation to put this pandemic behind us and return to “normal,” the clinical trials industry and its regulatory agency partners have a golden opportunity to implement some of the best aspects of CAG as the new industry standard. In so doing, the delivery of new therapies in record speed to patients desperately in need—those with diseases such as Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, Cancers—would stand as an enduring tribute to the lives lost to COVID-19.      

 

Formed May 15, 2020, CAG was a partnership between the federal departments of Health and Human Services (HHS), Department of Defense (DOD), and select private sector drug development sponsors. At its outset, the daunting goal of CAG was to accelerate vaccine development through 2020 so that, starting in January 2021, 300 million COVID-19 vaccine doses could be approved by the FDA, manufactured, distributed, and available to the U.S. general public by mid-2021.

 

At the inception of CAG, vaccine clinical trials were already underway with Pfizer, Moderna, Novavax, Sanofi/GSK, Janssen (J&J) and AstraZeneca. However, these trials were in the early stages, with no guarantees regarding timeline or successful outcome. And here was this lofty goal of full vaccine deployment in less than a year. For the nearly 75% of the U.S. adult population who have now been inoculated against COVID-19 and are currently contemplating booster shots, it may be easy to forget the audacity of such a compressed drug development timeline. But for those with experience in the clinical trials industry, this ambitious goal may have seemed flat out impossible!

 

If you look at the pre-pandemic statistics, the clinical trials industry has operated against a backdrop of 153,000 global deaths per day, 7,000 compounds in the drug development pipeline, and almost 12 years in clinical trials before new therapies reach patients—at an average cost of $2.6 billion! Defying the seeming inevitability of decades-long cycle times, CAG proved that an accelerated timeline was possible with an unprecedented level of process and performance transparency as well as cooperation between drug developers in the clinical trials industry and government. But what factors enabled this never-before-seen public/private cooperation to achieve the impossible, and how could those factors be standardized for future clinical trials in order to compress development cycle time and achieve faster breakthroughs in our most serious diseases?   

 

Allow each partner/stakeholder to play to its strengths  

In large part, CAG succeeded because at the outset, there was an understanding and acceptance as to which roles and responsibilities were best suited to private enterprise vs. government. For example, the heads of large government agencies such as HHS, DOD, and the State Department accepted that highly motivated, private drug development enterprises were best left to their own devices to do what they do best: execute on clinical process development and manufacturing plans—assuming successful vaccine creation.

 

For their part, the government agencies working within the CAG partnership deemed that their critical role was to mobilize the full capacity of the U.S. government to clear all roadblocks. Their job was to ensure that no technical, logistical, or financial hurdle would hinder vaccine development or deployment. For example, DOD and HHS collaborated to mitigate supply-chain disruptions of critical manufacturing supplies and equipment. HHS even worked closely with one vaccine company to identify a much-needed additional manufacturing partner. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers was tasked with overseeing construction projects to expand capacity at some manufacturing plants. Incredibly, DOD even sent 16 public servants to fill quality control positions at two vaccine manufacturing sites until the companies could hire the required private sector replacements!

 

Certainly, promising early-stage clinical trial data should meet an agreed-upon threshold to merit such an all-out mobilization. But shouldn’t we lay down the policy guidelines now if only so drug developers and the public know that enormous public/private support will be there when a breakthrough inevitably comes? There are countless people with devastating diseases such as Alzheimer’s—which many experts caution is a developing tsunami given our aging population and longer life expectancies—waiting for just such a crucial breakthrough in treatment. 

Leverage technology-enabled solutions and data sharing to align stakeholders

Extraordinary cooperation by otherwise fierce competitors in the pharmaceutical industry became standard in the CAG effort to develop the COVID-19 vaccines. BioNTech collaborated with Pfizer for its mRNA-based vaccine. Sanofi worked in tandem with GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) and Merck manufactured J&J’s vaccine. Beneath these high-profile partnerships was one significant factor that helped CAG succeed: data-sharing. Specifically, the competitors developing vaccines on one of the four approved platforms selected by CAG—the mRNA platform, the replication-defective live-vector platform, the recombinant-subunit-adjuvanted protein platform, or the attenuated replicating live-vector platform—actually relied on data from other vaccines using the same platforms. For as much criticism as the pharmaceutical industry too often receives, this level of sharing and cooperation between fierce rivals to help swiftly combat a deadly virus preying on many of the world’s most vulnerable has, in my humble opinion, not been heralded enough.  

 

As the CEO and Co-Founder of an innovative cloud-based software provider to the clinical trials industry, I have long advocated for more process and performance transparency (as those who know me in the industry can attest). That said, let me be clear: as an entrepreneur and fierce defender of risk taking and free market capitalism, I am not in any way advocating for pharmaceutical industry sponsors and their CRO partners to share the valuable intellectual property behind new therapies they took great risk to develop and advance through clinical trials. Beyond a passion for improving the human condition and eradicating disease, respect for the rule of law and protecting intellectual property are paramount to ensuring therapeutic breakthroughs like we’ve just experienced with the COVID-19 vaccines.

 

However, in the same collaborative spirit of Operation Warp Speed, there are opportunities to use technology to better align—both operationally and clinically—all clinical trial stakeholders, from patients to investigative sites to CROs and sponsors. On the clinical side, for example, technology that uses artificial intelligence to scour EMR data and match eligible patients to clinical trial protocols is beginning to proliferate. In addition, even during the development of clinical trial protocols, predictive analytics are being leveraged to model trial feasibility based on the protocol, thereby allowing for protocol adjustments to ensure a greater degree of success in the clinical trial phase. Operationally, the pandemic has hastened promising technological advances to cut cycle time and, ultimately, costs to deliver new therapies to patients. Remote and risk-based monitoring of clinical trials is poised to become (or already is) the new norm. And of course, at Devana Solutions we provide technology to connect central trial operations teams with decentralized site staff and clinicians or “bring the site into the patient’s own community”. Devana also highly automates clinical trial process workflows and capture site metrics for analysis and improvement in speeding new therapies to patients.

—–

It is within our power to take from the urgent, can-do, cooperative partner-mindset that was adopted by the clinical trials industry and government agencies during the pandemic—best exemplified by Operation Warp Speed. The industry and regulators should seize the lessons of this moment, and lay down a framework to accelerate the speed of delivery as soon as the next major therapeutic breakthrough against a serious disease is realized. To miss the next opportunity to speed a lifesaving vaccine or cure to those patients by leveraging the collective fighting spirit this pandemic has engendered would be tragic. Rising to meet this challenge would honor the millions of lives cut short by this pandemic.

Why Automated Data Analytics are Crucial for Clinical Research Leaders

The sheer volume of data produced by the clinical trial industry is staggering—and it’s growing every day. The healthcare industry, in general, relies on big data to function, and clinical trials are no exception. We need speedy, secure access to data sets that are large, complex, and diverse. By and large, big data has moved onto the cloud in recent years. Yet because of the limitations of the applications and processes used by most clinical research organizations, much of the information remains siloed in different systems. We end up spending hours trying to wrangle data from multiple sources in an effort to get the insights we need to effectively manage operations. But what if the clinical data you need wasn’t just scattered across multiple software systems (and spreadsheets)? What if you had a single platform from which to manage all of the information you need to maximize the efficiency of your research and speed medications and treatments to the market? What if, instead of sifting through disparate systems to gather and analyze pertinent data, you could automatically generate your data analytics with a few clicks? Below are just a few of the opportunities made available through automated data analytics. 

Optimize Clinical Trials

With the ability to analyze trial performance data in real-time, you’ll easily choose the best sites and investigators for your research, track trial progress, make informed decisions, and improve outcomes. With more accurate data, you can improve trial efficiency and lower overall costs.

How Technology Simplifies Clinical Trial Feasibility Assessments

Ah, the dreaded site assessment and feasibility: pages upon pages of requests for information. From equipment specifications to investigator experience to patient population, the amount of data needed to execute a clinical trial feasibility is onerous. You may have most of this information on hand—across a variety of spreadsheets, emails, documents—and in your head. But there may also be gaps in the information you have access to, leaving you no option but to put down your best guess and muddle through.

However, the accuracy of the data you provide in an assessment is vital. Sponsors and CROs need the information in a feasibility to be as precise as possible, or else how can they be sure a site will be able to perform as needed in a trial? Miscalculations and incomplete information could prevent you from being awarded the trials you deserve. On the other hand, an inaccurate feasibility could lead to being awarded a trial that your site cannot perform well, resulting in damage to your business and your reputation. This inevitably slows down or even halts the investigational process, causing delays in much-needed therapies, vaccines, and devices making it to the market—and to the patients who would benefit from them.  

Clinical Trial Feasibility Accuracy and Innovation

In the clinical trials industry, innovation and state-of-the-art technology are a part of the job. But until now, so many sites have been relying on outdated, error-prone manual processes to store and deliver their vital information. Devana Solutions is here to change that by bringing site feasibility assessments into the 21st century. With our clinical trial process management platform, you’ll have access to all of the data you need to flawlessly execute clinical trial feasibility assessments—within seconds. 

Performance for Indications & Therapeutic Areas

Devana’s platform gives you the ability to review a site’s past and current performance, as well as their experience in particular indications or therapeutic areas. This information can be displayed for your particular site, for a specific investigator, or even for the organization as a whole. You can easily see the number of trials and average enrollment metrics for those trials, such as patient volume, screen failure rate, early term rate, and contract fulfillment percentage. 

Performance with CROs & Sponsors

Common feasibility questions about your performance with specific CROs and sponsors include queries like how many studies are you currently running or have completed for a specific CRO or sponsor? What is your average study start-up time with that same CRO or sponsor? How long on average does it take your site(s) to screen the first patient once the study has been given the “green light?” Devana’s platform instantly provides this information for you. Among other metrics, you can see the number of trials performed for each CRO and sponsor, their turnaround time, and pertinent enrollment data. 

Clinical Trial Feasibility Investigator Information

Our platform’s investigator profiles centrally house all of the crucial documentation for your investigators, including CVs, medical licensing, and training certificates. No more digging into emails, computer folders, or physical files of photocopies just to fill out the investigator information in a feasibility assessment. With Devana’s platform, everything you need is in one place.

Site Information

All of the relevant information needed for a site feasibility assessment—from the basics such as contact info to the nitty-gritty details like therapeutic area experience, equipment on-site, staff-on site, and past FDA audit outcomes—is stored in our platform’s site profiles. You won’t need to sift through countless documents and spreadsheets just to get the necessary data—our platform provides it at the touch of a button.

Financial Information

Budget considerations are a common element of feasibility assessments, requiring you to provide fiscal details in a variety of areas. This financial information includes costs related to specific indications as well as particular CROs and sponsors. Devana’s platform stores and crunches the numbers for you, so it’s available anytime you need it.
