    Phase 2 Delivered. No Biometrics Build. DB Lock in 3–4 Months

    WHO IT IS

    The Context

    A Series B oncology biotech moving into Phase 2 did not have the internal biometrics infrastructure required to support a more complex, multi-site trial.

    The company had clinical momentum but lacked mature in-house data management, RBQM, and statistical programming capacity. Building those functions internally would add cost, time, and execution risk at a stage where investor timelines and study-readiness milestones were already under pressure.

    The challenge was not simply outsourcing. The company needed a governed execution layer that could support data cleaning, query resolution, RBQM oversight, and database lock readiness without requiring a full permanent biometrics buildout.

    Challenges

    Key barriers to Trial Execution

    No Mature Biometrics Infrastructure

    • Limited in-house data management capacity
    • No mature query resolution workflows
    • Statistical programming support needed for downstream readiness

    Data Fragmentation

    • Clinical data spread across systems and sources
    • 5,000–50,000 query exposure per trial
    • Limited unified visibility into data quality risks

    DB Lock Timeline Risk

    • 6–8 months DB lock projection
    • Manual reconciliation delays readiness
    • Milestones exposed to downstream delays

    RBQM Requirement

    • ICH E6(R3) RBQM required
    • Static KRIs may miss risks
    • Governed oversight and audit traceability needed from study start

    Operational solution

    Maxis AI agentic workflows — under human oversight throughout

    AI for Clinical Data Management

    • AI-assisted cleaning and validation
    • Routine query resolution
    • Unified cross-source visibility

    Outcome

    60–70% auto-resolved routine queries

    AI for RBQM

    • Predictive risk signals
    • Governed central monitoring
    • Audit-ready oversight

    Outcome

    ICH E6(R3)-aligned RBQM oversight

    Biometrics Capacity Without Full Buildout

    • Expanded execution capacity
    • Focus on review and oversight
    • Reduced CDM buildout needs

    Outcome

    30% cost savings vs. traditional CDM

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