Unprecedented industry milestones achieved with continuous innovation supporting the digital transformation of life sciences

New York – March 2, 2023 – Known for its ground-breaking technological innovations in clinical trials, Medidata, a Dassault Systèmes company, has exceeded 30,000 clinical trials and 9 million study participants. These milestones, achieved together with more than 2,100 global customers and partners, have been fueled by Medidata’s platform and life sciences solutions that power smarter treatments and healthier people, while driving greater access to trials. 

“As a patient advocate and study participant, I understand the significance of these milestones,” said Anne Marie Mercurio, research advocate and Medidata Patient Insights Board Chair. “And beyond the numbers and the data, Medidata’s ongoing commitment to infusing the patient voice into trial designs and solutions, is helping to create a better and more inclusive experience for all participants in clinical studies.”

Medidata has the deepest, widest platform of pioneering programs including decentralized clinical trials, increasing diversity in clinical studies, and advanced AI solutions for trial design and simulation, site selection, and Synthetic Control Arms. And Medidata technologies and services are driving more value for customers, helping reach critical development milestones faster, including saving an average of one month in study build time and two months in conducting studies.

Rose Kidd, president, Operations Delivery at ICON, commented: “At ICON, technology is core to how we deliver customer needs effectively and efficiently, through our own proprietary technologies to working with leaders in their field like Medidata. ICON has a long history with Medidata as its first CRO partner. We are proud to collaborate together to create industry-leading solutions that drive best-in-class performance in clinical development.”

Maribel Hernandez, vice president, Clinical Operations & Special Projects at PTC Therapeutics stated: “Clinical trials in rare disease are complex and unpredictable. Since becoming a Medidata customer in 2016, we have benefited from their experience and innovative spirit, and gained efficiencies to bring novel medicines to patients in need.”

Mike McDevitt, senior vice president, Biometrics at Syneos Health, said: “We have collaborated with Medidata for over 16 years and during this time the company’s dedication to service delivery and clinical trials innovation has further enabled Syneos Health to serve our customers and accelerate the development of drugs and devices. Medidata has made groundbreaking contributions to technology and clinical research – contributions that stand out in our industry – and we are pleased to join them in celebrating these significant operational milestones.”

“This 30,000 trial milestone is a remarkable achievement and a testament to the hard work of so many at Medidata who support trials, develop innovations in AI, and serve our customers while putting patients first,” said Pascal Daloz, Medidata CEO. “We thank the 9 million trial participants who chose clinical trials as part of their healthcare journey and the customers who partnered with us to advance human health…and we’re just getting started!”

With studies conducted in more than 140 countries, Medidata is involved in nearly 40% of company-initiated trial starts globally. More than 70% of novel drugs approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 2022 were developed with Medidata software.
