Pfizer has expanded its multi-year agreement with Saama, intensifying efforts to expedite clinical research.

The strategic development builds on the collaboration that began in 2020, aimed at automating Pfizer’s data review processes leveraging artificial intelligence (AI).

This collaboration yielded the Smart Data Quality (SDQ) tool, which has substantially reduced the time to database lock.

Pfizer will scale SDQ across a wider range of global studies to enhance and accelerate its data review processes.

The partnership also extends further as Pfizer seeks to expedite regulatory submissions using Saama’s advanced biometrics research and analysis information network.
