News: Cytel Extends Clinical Trial Enrollment Forecasting Capabilities with EnForeSys 2.0 Release
25th July, 2018 Cambridge, MA, USA. Cytel Inc., a global provider of innovative analytical software and services to the biopharmaceutical industry, today announces the release of version 2.0 of its EnForeSys software. Launched in 2015, EnForeSys is a leading decision tool that uses modern simulation methods to predict clinical trial recruitment milestones with high accuracy.
According to Tufts CSDD research (1), a typical clinical trial needs to double the planned enrollment period to reach its recruitment target, while 11% of research sites fail to enroll a single patient. Deploying historical site-level data and other factors for more accurate forecasts, EnForeSys has put trial planners and feasibility groups back in the driving seat, allowing them to flag potential challenges and choose the best enrollment strategy for their particular circumstances. The upgraded version unveils expanded functionality that allows users improved interactivity and the ability to generate even more granular forecasts for resolving their feasibility challenges.
The enhanced capabilities include:
“Interactive Planner" mode for iterative forecasting:
• Closed-form computations allow instant predictions
• Set goals on target study duration and site activation
Expanded simulation options for more realistic and accurate forecasts:
• Study start-up time
• Minimum number of patients
• Pre-screening
• Holidays and seasonal effects
• Mid-trial change in enrollment rates
Charles Liu, Senior Product Manager at Cytel, said, “The objective of this release is to deepen the prediction capabilities of EnForeSys with expanded modeling attributes. We have simultaneously provided a more interactive experience with a planner mode that supports instant predictions. Enrollment continues to be one of the biggest headaches for our customers, and so our EnForeSys product road-map commits to further developments, such as mid-trial monitoring and forecasting, that will help them to better quantify the probability of success of their various strategies.”
