USA – Pfizer is ramping up its collaboration with Saama, a leader in AI solutions, to drive faster clinical research processes, as part of an expansion of their multi-year agreementthataims to streamline its data review procedures using cutting-edge artificial intelligence.
The agreement was initiated in 2020 and its cornerstone is the Smart Data Quality (SDQ) tool developed to automate Pfizer’s data review processes.
Notably, SDQ has already demonstrated its efficacy by significantly reducing the time required for database lock.
Now, Pfizer is poised to extend the use of SDQ across a broader spectrum of global studies, intensifying efforts to enhance and expedite data review processes.
Moreover, the partnership extends to leveraging Saama’s advanced biometrics research and analysis network to hasten regulatory submissions, promising shorter timelines across Pfizer’s global portfolio.
Saama’s solutions to transform clinical development
Saama’s innovative suite of AI-enabled SaaS products optimizes statistical programming and biostatistics workflows, therefore digitizing trial specifications, and producing submission-ready artifacts for regulators.
This comprehensive approach not only accelerates regulatory processes but also enables ongoing automation and innovation, potentially further expediting future trial submissions.
Saama’s solutions facilitate medical review activities, bolster patient safety oversight, and enable predictive insights into subject behavior by unifying and standardizing data.
