Custom Software for Innovative Clinical Trials
Your Custom Clinical Trial Software Development Partner

Successful implementation of modern clinical trials, including adaptive trials, often requires creating supporting custom software.

Using outsourced software development teams has become the preferred approach to deliver complex applications - especially when speed, dependability and cost-effectiveness are important factors. Outsourcing specialized software development allows biopharmaceutical companies to maintain focus on core discovery and development competencies while simultaneously introducing clinical productivity innovations that help drive products to market faster.

In such situations, Cytel is your custom clinical trial software development partner of choice.

Recent Cytel-created custom applications projects include:

• Bayesian methods for proof-of-concept phase 2 studies
• Adaptive dose-finding phase 2b trial simulator
• Real-time, dynamic randomization for treatment assignments
• Trial simulations to establish the validity of the randomization scheme
• Statistical applications for special trial designs. 
• Methods for simulating and managing multi-center trials
