About Company
A Head of Biometrics leading a US-based team is managing 2–5 concurrent trials, with 70–80% of programming effort spent on SDTM/ADaM mapping and TFL generation.
Interim analyses require 2–3 weeks, creating bottlenecks across trials awaiting statistical outputs.
With $180–220/hr FSP costs and increasing backlog, delays in programming directly impact database lock timelines and submission readiness.

Measured Impact
Quantified Outcomes After Deploying Maxis AI’s Agentic Workflows
| Metric | Before Agentic AI | After Agentic AI |
|---|---|---|
| Interim analysis turnaround | 2–3 weeks of manual statistical programming and data cleaning per cycle | 1–2 days through supervised automated pipeline with expert validation |
| Programming effort | 80% of programmer time spent on repetitive SDTM/ADaM mapping; $180–220/hr FSP rates | 70% automated under supervised execution; programmers refocused on high-value design work |
| Database lock | Delayed in 30–40% of trials; every slip advancing submission risk downstream | Accelerated by up to 50% — $200K–$400K cost savings per trial vs FSP rates |
| Data quality detection | Inconsistencies detected late in manual reviews after downstream rework was already affected | AI flagged anomalies earlier in data flow; 30–40% reduction in data queries |
| Team capacity | Senior programmers consumed by repetitive derivation work with limited capacity for design | 20–30% analytical capacity reclaimed for advanced modelling and adaptive design work |
Outcomes
Interim analysis turnaround compressed from 3 weeks to 1–2 days, database lock accelerated up to 50%, and $200–400K saved per trial vs FSP rates.
