Study Feasibility

With 43% of study sites failing to enroll a single patient, a more data-driven approach to study planning is needed.

Medidata Study Feasibility leverages the power of AI and real-time site- and country-level performance metrics to predict high-enrolling and non-enrolling sites, suggest the leanest viable study footprint, and forecast enrollment in a single unified platform.

Video transcript: In an industry where timeline delays cost millions and up to 80% of studies don't meet their study enrollment goals, building your global study footprint based on inaccurate publicly available data can have massive financial consequences. Metadata's AI powered scenario simulation moves study feasibility from subjective guesswork to data driven decision making. It's powered by millions of data points collected by Metadata Rave, the industry's number one EDC platform. By analyzing historical and real time site level performance data from over 2,300 customers, 38,000 studies, and 41,000 global sites, Scenario Simulation turns robust industry intelligence into actionable feasibility insights. Traditional feasibility planning is time intensive, requiring data to be pulled from multiple sources. Scenario simulations shift this paradigm. Our predictive AI model eliminates manual iterations. In minutes instead of hours, this flexible solution leverages your expertise, study specific criteria, and metadata's proprietary data to deliver dynamic scenario suggestions you can trust. Simply input your target enrollment and study parameters such as number of countries, required sites, or target site performance mix to instantly surface the leanest, most viable combination of countries and sites needed to reach your goals. Study planners can create and compare multiple scenarios, immediately visualizing how shifting study parameters impact your enrollment timeline. And on Metadata's unified platform, optimized scenarios flow seamlessly from planning into activation with site lists imported into Metadata CTMS study startup. No duplicate data entry, no fragmented systems. Everything connects so your trials move faster. Stop guessing and start accelerating your trial timelines today with Metadata's AI powered scenario simulation.

Confidently Plan Better Trials with Predictive AI

You’re expected to deliver faster enrollment, more diverse representation, and predictable timelines—without increasing complexity or cost. But too often, feasibility decisions rely on incomplete data, manual iterations, and static forecasts.

Powered by the industry’s largest operational dataset, Medidata Study Feasibility gives you insights you can act on.
Leverage predictive AI to simulate your trial before it begins:

Optimize study footprint in minutes
Identify high-performing and non-enrolling sites
Discover previously unknown sites
Benchmark internal performance metrics against industry trends

FAQ

The solution uses AI-powered forecasting derived from actual site-level enrollment and congestion data—not just surveys—to identify high-performing sites. It provides unmatched granularity on operational performance metrics, including enrollments, screen failures, and data quality, allowing you to select sites that are statistically more likely to meet your specific timeline goals.

Medidata leverages the industry’s largest proprietary dataset, comprising over 38,000 trials and 12 million patients across 140+ countries. Additionally, the data is refreshed weekly from over 8,000 active studies, ensuring that your feasibility assessments and benchmarks are based on relevant, real-time industry performance rather than outdated historical records.

Yes. The platform allows you to identify sites with a proven historical track record of recruiting diverse patient populations. By using indication-specific, cross-industry patient demographic data, you can prioritize sites that consistently meet diversity goals, helping you achieve inclusivity targets and comply with regulatory Diversity Action Plans.

Scenarios are simulated using Medidata’s AI models, which are trained on real-time Rave data and account for user-defined parameters—such as "must-have" or "must-not-have" regions, countries, and sites, as well as specific performance metrics. The platform generates optimized scenarios for single or multiple enrollment duration targets to solve for the leanest, most efficient study footprint.
