Our Services
Scenario Planning
We allow Sponsors to plan multiple forecast versions of their active trials and adjust any parameter in the sandbox. Whether through a protocol amendment or change to a trial characteristic you can then merge your scenario into your live trial!
Demand Planning
SimpliCT's own in-house software will dynamically integrate supply, inventory and demand and provide immediate sponsor updates on drug coverage profiles per depot and medication type as well as overall reporting on study health
Patient Planning
SimpliCT’s own in-house software will convert patient data into drug demand data and offers smoothing options for under/over-enrollments. SimpliCT also allows for multiple forecast versions that the user can experiment with while keeping current trial data updated in real time.
Clinical Supplies Forecasting
SimpliCT's own in-house demand calculation software will determine time-phased demand based on enrollments and site seeding needs and show coverage profiles based on depots and medication types in a powerful integrated output. We're named for it!
