Medidata Announces Launch of Medidata Detect
Medidata, a Dassault Systèmes company, announced the launch of Medidata Detect, a centralized statistical monitoring solution that aims to improve data quality and promote patient safety in clinical trials for new medicines, vaccines, and medical devices. Medidata Detect, part of Medidata’s regulatory-compliant and unified Medidata Rave Clinical Cloud platform, helps customers manage data quality, monitor site performance, and promote patient safety by uncovering and finding errors, trends, and anomalies in data through statistical algorithms and tests.
Glen de Vries, co-founder and co-CEO, Medidata said, “Detect is another example of our continuous innovation that helps advance clinical trials with increased data accuracy and speed. It’s another way we’re working to get important new vaccines and therapeutics to patients in safer, faster ways.”
A report in the Journal of the American Medical Society (JAMA)* found almost a quarter of new drug submissions required one or more resubmissions before they were approved, with a median delay to approval of 435 days following the first unsuccessful submission. Medidata Detect uses one central system for aggregation and review of any number of data sources, flagging data errors, trends, and anomalies in real time.

Behind the Buzz: Why Clinical Research Leaders Flock to SCOPE Summit
February 7th 2025In this episode, we meet with Micah Lieberman, Executive Conference Director for SCOPE Summit (Summit for Clinical Ops Executives) at Cambridge Innovation Institute. We will dive deep into the critical role of collaboration within the clinical research ecosystem. How do we bring together diverse stakeholders—sponsors, CROs, clinical trial tech innovators, suppliers, patients, sites, advocacy organizations, investors, and non-profits—to share best practices in trial design, program planning, innovation, and clinical operations? We’ll explore why it’s vital for thought leaders to step beyond their own organizations and learn from others, exchanging ideas that drive advancements in clinical research. Additionally, we’ll discuss the pivotal role of scientific conferences like SCOPE Summit in fostering these essential connections and collaborations, helping shape the future of clinical trials. Join us as we uncover how collective wisdom and cross-industry partnerships are transforming the landscape of clinical research.
