The platform will provide participating member companies the ability to assimilate, aggregate, and analyze de-identified preclinical and clinical information, enabling them to draw their respective conclusions from a large data set. The platform will be used initially to support BioCelerate’s first collaborative project, Toxicology & Background Control Data Sharing, to enhance product safety.
”Sharing preclinical data among the BioCelerate member companies can be a powerful tool for improving drug discovery and development. With this initiative, BioCelerate members will be able to make more informed decisions on compound progression based on a better understanding of preclinical safety data,” said Mike Graziano Ph.D., DABT, Vice President of Drug Safety Evaluation at BMS and lead for the BioCelerate initiative.
Dalvir Gill, Ph.D. CEO of TransCelerate BioPharma, Inc. said: “Accenture’s deep expertise in life sciences, digital, analytics, and clinical data-related services will be instrumental in delivering this new platform and builds on the multi-year relationship between Accenture and TransCelerate. All BioCelerate member companies recently signed a collaborative Data Sharing Agreement outlining the guidelines of the data that will be shared across companies. This, along with selecting Accenture to build and host the global data sharing platform, marks another significant milestone in advancing the industry. We are truly excited for the long-term strategic vision of this platform and envisage a future whereby drug developers can connect preclinical, clinical and other data types within the same data sharing platform.”
Following launch of the platform, data from TransCelerate’s Placebo Standard of Care Data Sharing (PSoC) initiative will be migrated, creating the foundation for additional preclinical and clinical data sharing across member companies. The PSoC initiative was established to maximize the value of historic clinical data collected during clinical trials, and was the first cross-therapeutic, multi-sponsor clinical data sharing initiative of its kind designed to improve trial design and safety surveillance.
