Clinical trials are at the heart of medical advancement but have considerable challenges, especially in risk management and cost estimation. Accurate forecasting of these factors is essential for a successful trial. Fast Data Science introduces AI-powered solutions that streamline and significantly enhance this process.
The financial stakes in clinical trials are high, with costs spanning several phases, locations, and participant demographics. Tr trials can avoid budget overspending, delays, and even early termination if these factors are managed effectively. That’s where AI can step in to help optimize and predict risk and cost.
Fast Data Science’s Clinical Trial Risk Tool enables trial managers to predict costs and risks precisely using artificial intelligence (AI) and natural language processing (NLP). The tool evaluates potential risks and offers accurate cost estimates by analyzing clinical documents, helping research teams manage financial resources and reduce trial disruptions.
Handling drug-related data efficiently is crucial in clinical trials. Fast Data Science’s Drug Name Recognizer plugin for Google Sheets automates the identification of drug names in large datasets. It tags each drug with its DrugBank ID and MeSH ID and links to the NHS, providing trial managers with valuable information at the click of a button.
This plugin is handy when managing trials involving complex drug regimens. By reducing manual data entry, the Drug Name Recognizer speeds up assessing drug interactions, monitoring adverse events, and cross-referencing with regulatory databases—essential steps in the risk analysis process.
For example, manually tracking information can introduce human errors, potentially increasing trial risks when working with hundreds of drug names across various locations. By integrating this plugin, teams can ensure that drug-related data is processed accurately, leading to more reliable risk and cost predictions.
By incorporating tools like the Clinical Trial Risk Tool and the Drug Name Recognizer plugin, Fast Data Science provides trial managers with a seamless, automated experience. Both tools support more efficient trial management, ensuring trials remain on track financially and operationally.
Whether in the early stages of budgeting or deep into participant management, these AI-powered solutions help reduce time, effort, and uncertainty in your clinical trials. As a result, you can allocate resources more effectively, manage risks with greater precision, and bring innovations to market faster.
Clinical trials demand careful planning and resource management. With Fast Data Science’s suite of AI-driven tools—such as the Clinical Trial Risk Tool and the Drug Name Recognizer plugin—you can streamline processes, reduce costs, and confidently manage risks. These innovations save time and ensure that trials are run efficiently, allowing research teams to focus on what truly matters: advancing healthcare.

Clinical Trial Data Lookup Google Sheets™ plugin Do you need to look up clinical trial data from the NCT ID? Fast Data Science has developed a Google Sheets™ add-on (plugin) which finds clinical trials data. The plugin uses the clinicaltrials.gov API. Clinical Trial Data Google Sheets™ Plugin Install plugin Install the free Google Sheets™ plugin for looking up clinical trial data Install Plugin The user will provide a number of NCT IDs in column A (or whichever one they choose) in the Google Sheet™, and the tool will look up those NCT IDs and retrieve information on those trials and populate that information into columns.
You may have been tasked with creating a clinical trial site budget. This is a budget itemising all the costs that will be incurred at the study site. The site budget may be needed To estimate the total cost of that site running part of the trial, as part of a bid to the CRO or sponsor To identify who needs to be reimbursed for each cost item To ascertain whether or not it is feasible to run the trial at that site To ensure that the site is reimbursed for the costs that they incur while running the trial If you are building a site budget, the most important document is the study protocol.
Fast Data Science are pleased to announce that the Clinical Trial Risk Tool, has been accepted as a supplier on the UK Government’s G-Cloud 15 framework. The G-Cloud 15 framework allows public sector bodies to buy cloud-based computing services such as AI, hosting, software and support directly without lengthy, costly traditional tender processes. What does the Clinical Trial Risk Tool do? The Clinical Trial Risk Tool helps users to analyse clinical trial protocols and documents.
