RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK, N.C. – June 15, 2015 – Quintiles, the world’s largest biopharmaceutical services company, today announced the addition of advanced statistical monitoring and predictive analytics capabilities to its risk-based monitoring (RBM) solution. Predictive and Advanced Analytics combine Quintiles’ experience as the RBM leader with its deep therapeutic and strong statistical sciences heritage to enable study teams to identify the right signals and predict clinical trial site performance and potential patient safety issues.
Predictive and Advanced Analytics are the first such model-based capabilities fully integrated into an RBM solution on the market today. Underpinned by the award-winning Quintiles Infosario® technology platform and Quintiles’ deep data resources, these new capabilities improve precision in risk identification by better understanding underlying “white noise” from safety trigger processes.
“The ultimate goal of risk-based monitoring is to increase the efficiency of drug development while improving quality and patient safety,” said Margaret Keegan, senior vice president, Data Sciences & Strategy at Quintiles. “The ability to cut through all the noise and predict potential risks before they occur means we can target the right action at the right place at the right time. It is a major step forward in improving quality and productivity in the next generation of RBM execution.”
Quintiles is the RBM market leader currently engaged in more than 130 studies using RBM processes and policies, across more than 26,000 sites and 260,000 patients. Compliant with U.S. Food and Drug Association, European Medicines Agency and TransCelerate guidance, Predictive and Advanced Analytics use unique statistical algorithms specifically designed for optimal RBM execution. The capabilities combine inputs across multiple variables including operational performance and study data to provide unprecedented insights into potential study risks.
“Being able to target patients and sites with this level of accuracy takes RBM to a new level in terms of both speed and quality,” said Teresa Lamantia, senior vice president, Knowledge Management at Quintiles. “The ability to focus resources where they’re needed to protect patient safety and the integrity of the trial is a welcome advance for all of us working to transform clinical development.”
At DIA This Week: Quintiles’ experts will be available to discuss RBM and the new Predictive and Advanced Analytics functionality at its booth at the upcoming Drug Information Association (DIA) conference June 14-18, 2015, in Washington, D.C. In addition, a discussion of Predictive and Advanced Analytics will be included in a Quintiles presentation at 12 p.m. EDT, June 16 at DIA’s Innovation Theater.

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.
