Reducing Database Lock Time by 40% on a Phase III Oncology Study
Global Oncology Sponsor
The Challenge
A global Phase III oncology sponsor faced a backlog of 4,200 outstanding queries at the 90-day pre-lock window, threatening a 6-week submission delay.
The IDDCR Approach
IDDCR deployed AI Companion Tools to automate query generation and triage, combined with a dedicated CDM surge team operating across three time zones.
The Outcome
Database lock achieved 40% ahead of the revised schedule. Outstanding queries reduced from 4,200 to under 80 at lock. Submission timeline fully recovered.
- 40% — Faster database lock
- 98% — Query resolution rate
- 6 weeks — Submission delay avoided
"IDDCR's CDM team and their AI tooling turned what looked like an insurmountable query backlog into a non-event. The lock came in ahead of even our optimistic scenario."
