Service uses simulation modeling methodology to evaluate the quantity of medication produced for use in clinical development.
E-Clinical and Regulatory solutions and services provider Calyx has announced its Calyx Supply Simulation clinical trial supply forecasting service. Available through the company’s in-house statistical design and trial supplies consultants, the service uses simulation modeling methodology and over 50 design parameters that closely mimic an Interactive Response Technology (IRT) system, to evaluate the quantity of medication produced for use in clinical development.
By providing better-aligned medication scenarios—for trial start-up and continued enrollment, how long an existing amount of study medication will last and determining optimal site and depot buffer stock quantities—can help sponsors reduce cost and excessive drug wastage.
