Best Practices and Lessons Learned from Cerevel's Implementation of the elluminate Clinical Data Cloud
Cerevel Designs a Digital Clinical Architecture for Modern Research with elluminate
Founded in late 2018 through a partnership with Pfizer and Bain Capital, Cerevel Therapeutics is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company working to transform the lives of people suffering from neuroscience diseases. As a new company with multiple clinical-stage products in development, Cerevel had the opportunity to create a new IT infrastructure without worrying about legacy systems, outdated equipment, or long-term contracts with vendors.
Challenge
With over 10 drugs in development — including therapies to treat schizophrenia, epilepsy, and Parkinson’s in late clinical trials, Cerevel was looking for innovative strategies to manage numerous data streams coming in from multiple trials. Cerevel required a technology platform that could support the volume, variety and velocity of modern clinical trials utilizing multiple CROs and system providers. They also required a system that could map and standardize the data plus enable near real-time analysis to make better business decisions faster.
Solution
After evaluating a number of solutions, Cerevel selected eClinical Solutions’ elluminate® Clinical Data Cloud, which can ingest data from multiple sources and formats. elluminate’s out-of-the box connection with Medidata Rave and overall interoperability provided Cerevel with a path to scale and the flexibility to utilize different types of DCT providers.
