Decision-Aiding System Improves Clinical Trial Performance

DECISION-AIDING SYSTEM IMPROVES CLINICAL TRIAL PERFORMANCE

ATLANTA, GA June 19, 2008 – The CCI-CPP collaborative team announces the newest release of Country Allocation Planner™ (CAP), a Web-based system for global clinical trial planning.   CAP improves clinical trial enrollment forecasting and the process of selecting countries for study participation by facilitating robust, unlimited and real-time “what if” scenario modeling.

“Fundamentally, CAP helps study planning teams forecast realistic enrollment times and select the optimum mix of countries and subject contributions to meet key operational objectives, like cycle time and cost,” says Beth Harper of Clinical Performance Partners, Inc.

The design for the system is a result of a collaborative effort between Core Concept, Inc., specialists in software, simulation and decision support, and Clinical Performance Partners, Inc. a provider of enrollment and site performance management services. CAP uses industry data on disease prevalence as well as internal company benchmark data, and then incorporates enrollment feasibility data to plan, manage and update enrollment projections.

CAP’s linear programming and advanced data modeling capabilities allow planning across multiple parameters, such as number of countries and investigative sites, enrollment rate, subject contribution, disease prevalence, and per subject cost. This breadth of enrollment planning is generally not feasible for most users engaged in global clinical trials.

“Our user-friendly system ensures that all available information and advanced analysis techniques are combined to provide the sponsor or contract research organization (CRO) with insight into the best possible scenarios for enrollment success,” states Rob Andes, Executive Vice President of Core Concept.  CAP does not make decisions, rely on team assumptions to make arbitrary enrollment projections or force the user to adhere to a set workflow.
