Certara’s ClinGenuity Named a “Cool Vendor” in Gartner’s 2015 Life Sciences Report

April 30, 2015

PRINCETON, NJ – Apr. 30, 2015 – Certara®, the global biosimulation technology-enabled drug development consultancy, today announced that its ClinGenuity company has been named a “Cool Vendor” in Gartner, Inc.’s 2015 Life Sciences report1. ClinGenuity was acquired by Synchrogenix, Certara’s regulatory writing company, in January 2015.

“We are delighted that Gartner has recognized us,” said Certara Chief Executive Officer Edmundo Muniz, M.D., Ph.D. “ClinGenuity’s artificial intelligence (AI)-assisted clinical trial writing tools can serve to shorten the new drug application process, helping to bring new therapies to patients faster.”

Synchrogenix, powered by ClinGenuity, uses an AI/natural language recognition and processing engine to identify individual words, parts of speech, word combinations, phrases and phrasing combinations. The system is intelligent enough to analyze previously written documents in order to construct an automated process for developing new clinical study documents and redacting information based on pre-defined process rules. With extremely high accuracy and efficiency, this configurable technology-enabled solution is unmatched in the industry.

“With the introduction of new clinical trial data disclosure regulations, including European Medicines Agency Policy 70, which went into effect at the start of 2015, we are seeing increased demand for our AI-based ClinGenuity Redaction Management System which efficiently removes all the personal patient and company confidential information from reports with 99 percent accuracy, prior to release,” said Keith Kleeman, Synchrogenix president and ClinGenuity founder. “We are working with a growing number of biopharmaceutical companies that are seeking strategic partners to support their global filings. The ClinGenuity technology strengthens our work with those companies.”

One of the four key findings in Gartner’s report was that process optimization in clinical trial startup and writing can have a demonstrable and significant impact on cycle times and the acceleration of deliverables.

This Gartner research report1 focuses on maximizing revenue, improving research efforts, building deep customer relationships through advanced analytics, and optimizing clinical cycle times by improving study startup and clinical writing.
