The main document in a clinical trial is the study protocol. At large companies, floors of people use the protocol to create the study data collection forms, clinical database design, error checks, analysis code, and data transformation mappings. We use AI to automate the process of creating everything from the protocol, saving not only spend on headcount but also months of time which can translate to up to $18M in lost revenue saved for a single phase 3 trial.

### AI document creation and data management for clinical trials

The main document in a clinical trial is the study protocol. At large companies, floors of people use the protocol to create the study data collection forms, clinical database design, error checks, analysis code, and data transformation mappings. We use AI to automate the process of creating everything from the protocol, saving not only spend on headcount but also months of time which can translate to up to $27M in direct costs + lost revenue saved for a single phase 3 trial.

[### Baseline AI: AI Document Creation + Data Management for Clinical Trials](

### **Tl;dr**

[Baseline’s]( AI platform helps pharmaceutical companies eliminate months of manual work during clinical trials by automating the study build, data transformation, and analysis creation. This can save a single trial up to $18M in direct costs and lost revenue.

### **⚠️ Problem**

The main document in a clinical trial is the study protocol. At large companies, floors of people use the protocol to create the study data collection forms, clinical database design, error checks, analysis code, and data transformation mappings. This makes the process both expensive and time-consuming, with **a single day lost** in a clinical trial **costing** [**50k-300k** (depending on phase)](

### **🚀 Solution**

We offer a three-part solution:

*   **Baseline Build**
    *   Processes the study protocol to create the study data collection forms, clinical database design, and error checks
*   **Baseline Harmonize**
    *   Transforms data from external sources into the desired format based on the database model
*   **Baseline Analyze**
    *   Uses the study protocol and database model to create the analysis tables and figures

Implementing our AI workflows can **save a single phase 3 clinical trial up to $18M** in direct costs and lost revenue.



**📘 Backstory**

We’re [Nabil]( and [Zoe]( — two recent MIT grads who want to help bring new treatments to patients in need faster. We noticed that despite drug discovery being faster than ever, new treatments for things our friends and family needed seemed to rarely make it to market. Zoe also participated in a clinical trial herself and wanted to see the system improve.
