Legacy Clinical Data

Digitize, analyze and warehouse your legacy clinical trials

Studies completed before the SDTM mandate live in PDFs. PointCross digitizes them into fully query-able, analysis-ready datasets, warehoused in Xbiom™ or your own repository, in as little as 3 to 5 weeks.

What you get

Five outcomes from every digitized study

PointCross has supported several sponsors rethinking their clinical data warehousing strategy. Every digitized study delivers five outcomes, regardless of how old the data is or which SDTM-IG version it needs to target.

SEARCHABLE

Fully query-able datasets

Every digitized legacy study becomes a fully query-able dataset. Scientific queries, audit requests and regulatory agency questions are answered directly from data, not PDFs.

  • Structured, indexed patient data
  • Audit and regulatory queries
  • No more PDF hunting
Instantquery response
ANALYZABLE

Stratified cohort & cross-parameter analysis

Repurposing and exploratory analysis become straightforward. Stratified cohort analysis, cross-parameter analysis and integrated patient profiles are readily achieved.

  • Exploratory & repurposing analysis
  • Stratified cohort analysis
  • Cross-parameter analysis

The problem

Legacy studies are locked in PDFs

Studies done before the SDTM mandate are not available in digital form. Without digitization, there is no way to digitally analyze, search or access them.

No integrated patient profile

Most legacy trial data cannot render an integrated patient profile if a scientific query, audit or regulatory agency question needs to be answered.

Costly, slow curation

Current digital source data requires costly curation, reprocessing and time before transformation into an analysis-ready digital data repository. Prior to working with a top-ten pharmaceutical, their programmers spent well over a year digitizing just 4 legacy trials.

Document retrieval is a nightmare

Digitizing legacy clinical data can easily become a nightmare with the retrieval of study documents such as the Protocol, CSR, CRF and SAP. PointCross handles all of it.

3 to 5 weeks

Where it used to take over a year

PointCross Life Sciences has supported several sponsors rethinking their clinical data warehousing strategy to ensure future-proofed, analysis-ready datasets made easily available for scientific and regulatory queries.

How it works

From PDF archive to warehoused dataset

Share the required study documents under an NDA, and we take it from there.

01

Retrieve & digitize

We retrieve the Protocol, CSR, CRF and SAP, extract and curate the data from PDF, and build a fully structured digital dataset.

02

Convert to SDTM

The digital dataset is outputted to an SDTM target model using automated transformation in Xbiom™, harmonized for any SDTM-IG version.

03

Warehouse & analyze

The analysis-ready dataset is warehoused on a secured instance of Xbiom™ or in a target model outlet for your internal repository, ready for analysis, visualization and queries.

Data strategy

A broader data strategy, built on your legacy

Sponsors have requested PointCross support their digitization of clinical legacy studies to form a broader data strategy in which access to findings, stratified cohort analysis and cross-parameter analysis are readily achieved for repurposing and exploratory analysis.

FAQ

Legacy data digitization, answered

Why digitize legacy clinical trials?+
Studies done before the SDTM mandate are not available in digital form. If those legacy studies are of value today, there is no way to digitally analyze and access them. Digitizing them enables searchable, robustly analyzable, visualizable and future-proofed datasets for repurposing and exploratory analysis.
How long does digitization take?+
We offer sponsors a 3 to 5 week turnaround. Prior to working with a top-ten pharmaceutical, their programmers spent well over a year digitizing 4 legacy trials. Our approach enables a fully query-able, analysis-ready dataset in a fraction of the time.
Where is the data warehoused?+
The analysis-ready dataset can be warehoused on a secured instance of the Xbiom™ analysis workbench, or delivered to a target model outlet suitable for the sponsor's internal repository.
How is the service priced?+
We offer a firm fixed price once you share the required resources under an NDA. There are no open-ended hourly engagements: share the Protocol, CSR, CRF and SAP and we provide a fixed quote.

Your legacy studies, unlocked

Share your study documents under an NDA and we provide a firm fixed price. 3 to 5 weeks later your legacy trials are searchable, analyzable and warehoused, ready for the scientific and regulatory queries they were never designed to answer.
