Cytel announced that it will launch East On Demand™ at the annual Joint Statistical Meetings (JSM) 2019. Offered via the cloud and licensed through subscriptions, East on Demand provides statisticians with more flexible access to East, a software package for the design of adaptive and innovative clinical trials.
East’s statistical and analytical tools unlock the full potential of the adaptive clinical trial, empowering trial designers to make effective data-driven protocol amendments easily during clinical trial execution. This flexibility helps generate more representative data, reduce sample size and financial investment, and ultimately accelerate the time-to-market for new therapeutics.
East on Demand brings access to the full repertoire of East’s clinical design and analysis features to a wider audience, including companies that have less frequent or short-term requirements. Customers that are implementing a smaller number of clinical trials can ensure they are paying only for what they need, with flexible monthly subscriptions and a range of purpose-built toolkits designed for specific clinical trial protocols and therapeutic areas. East on Demand users will also have 24/7 access to the most up-to-date version of East in a fully validated, secure environment in the cloud.
"Smaller biotechnology companies face a unique set of challenges when it comes to the clinical development process. They are often working with tight budgets, have limited IT infrastructure for setting up and maintaining software environments, and typically require trial designing capabilities for a much shorter period,” Anne Pelz, VP Product Management at Cytel said. “They will also benefit most from an optimized adaptive trial design approach because these methodologies allow for the generation of compelling data from small patient groups while significantly reducing overall development costs and risk of trial failure. Cytel has thus ensured that East on Demand offers a holistic solution for the smaller biotech, delivering the full arsenal of adaptive design tools in a way that is optimally accessible for them."
