Optimize your protocol and validate decisions throughout the design continuum

OPTIMIZE YOUR DESIGN STRATEGY

Flexible and efficient protocol design

Protocol design and development is a critical process within your clinical development program, shaping the success of your study. At IQVIA, our seasoned experts meticulously partner with you to design your development strategy — your roadmap to operational and regulatory success — propelling your innovative research forward with traditional and novel trial designs that emphasize speed, flexibility and efficiency.

ITERATE ON EARLY DESIGN IDEAS

Use data to make optimal design decisions

Data used in study design is often scarce, siloed and fragmented, leading to gaps in information and adding both risk and uncertainty. IQVIA’s Evidence-Driven Study Design bridges these gaps by integrating complementary tools, datasets and analytics to provide answers to critical questions throughout the early design development process. From eligibility criteria to regulatory considerations, we provide actionable insights across key decision areas to help you make early, in-flight decisions prior to protocol authoring.

PATIENT-FRIENDLY STUDY DESIGN

Analytics can drive patient centricity

Increased patient burden impacts study recruitment and retention and adds to diversity challenges. Higher patient burden has also been linked to longer study start up times, increased protocol amendments and higher screen failure rates. Creating more flexible, patient-focused protocols results in better enrollment and improved patient engagement.

IQVIA’s Patient Centricity in Design is a tech-enabled service that assesses study designs from the patient’s viewpoint. By leveraging data, analytics and expertise we provide rapid insights to evaluate your design decisions for patient-centricity.

Reduce study risks with evidence-based decisions

Clinical studies are becoming larger, longer and more complex — with significant costs and inefficiencies occurring within protocol design. Advanced analytics provide actionable insights that help you avoid study delays caused by unnecessary complexity and avoidable protocol amendments.

IQVIA’s Data-Informed Protocol Assessment evaluates your protocol across 5 key areas, to help you proactively mitigate risks to achieving study timelines. With a track record of positively impacting 95% of the awarded protocols we reviewed, IQVIA can help you uncover potential risks before your protocol is finalized.
