    WHO IT IS

    The Context

    Based in San Francisco, California, this mid-sized biotech was operating across late-phase studies under a functional service provider model

    Escalating query volumes and programming workload extended projected timelines and increased operational strain across the biometrics team

    With 5,000–50,000 queries per study and 80% of data manager time consumed by manual review, and FSP programmers costing $180–220/hr with 25–30% annual turnover, the team needed intelligent automation to restore capacity and hit submission deadlines

    Challenges

    Key barriers to Trial Execution

    Query Volume

    • 5,000–50,000 queries per study
    • 80% time spent on manual review
    • Limited focus on strategic oversight

    Programming Load

    • 80% time on repetitive SDTM/ADaM mapping
    • $180–220/hr FSP cost
    • 25–30% annual turnover

    SAP Timelines

    • 4–8 week SAP development cycles
    • Delays in trial readiness
    • SAS-to-Python/R transition burden

    DB Lock Delays

    • 15–18 months database lock timelines
    • 3–4 months manual prep for submission

    Operational solution

    Maxis AI agentic workflows — under human oversight throughout

    AI Data Management

    • 60–70% queries auto-resolved
    • Human oversight maintained
    • Shift to strategic focus

    Outcome

    60–70% query reduction

    AI Statistical Programming

    • 50–70% effort reduction
    • 85% SAP development time reduction
    • SAS/R/Python supported

    Outcome

    85% faster SAP development

    Predictive Risk Forecasting

    • Earlier data quality risk detection
    • Forecasted query
    • Risks surfaced

    Outcome

    8–12 weeks predictive risk forecasting

    Maxis AI operates as a governed and supervised execution layer within existing systems throughout.
