FACULTY FRONTIER™
Decision Intelligence for Clinical Trials

Make better, faster decisions with AI-powered simulation - from trial design and execution to portfolio-level strategy.

Clinical development remains one of the largest constraints on R&D productivity. Fragmented systems, manual analysis, and inefficient workflows are slowing progress. Bringing together data, AI models, agents, and business rules - Faculty Frontier™ provides a virtual testing environment to test strategies and optimise trial plans in silico before execution.

With Frontier, clinical teams now move faster, run better trials, and progress more assets with confidence.

"We spent a year systematically looking at how AI can enable our clinical trials. We can shift the performance of multiple individuals closer to the performance of the best, and I’m convinced that’s where the real value is going to come."

Proven Impact
Accelerate trial planning

Reduce trial planning cycles from 10 weeks to ~10 minutes by rapidly generating and comparing design scenarios. Enable earlier stakeholder alignment and faster convergence on the best plan.

Run better, faster trials

Use advanced AI-powered simulation and optimisation to reduce downstream amendments and avoid costly delays. Proactively intervene across trials before you go off track.

Optimise across portfolios

Connect clinical trial decisions to reduce fragmentation across functions, hierarchy, and time. Track impact on key KPIs and build confidence in development strategy.

DECISION INTELLIGENCE FOR CLINICAL TRIALS
Scalable Solutions
Built on a shared simulation layer, Frontier scales Decision Intelligence across the clinical trial lifecycle. New capabilities incrementally deliver value - collectively transforming development as more decisions connect.
1
Study Design & Execution
  • Generate and compare trial scenarios in minutes using AI-powered simulation and agentic support to explore more design options faster.
  • Accelerate trade-off decisions with optimisation techniques that help cross-functional teams converge on the trial plan that best balances scientific design and operational feasibility.
  • Reduce costly delays by simulating start-up and recruitment, surfacing performance drivers to guide interventions and track progress against the original plan.
2
Portfolio Simulation
  • Connect trials across the portfolio to understand how decisions interact and influence speed, cost and quality across programmes, indications and regions.
  • Balance risk and opportunity to optimise portfolio strategy against priority metrics such as probability of success and net present value.
  • Identify and act on systemic risks early by modelling recruitment overlap, operational capacity and shared dependencies across studies.
3
End-to-End Transformation
  • Provide a consistent and coherent view of performance across functions and geographies, enabling enterprise-wide optimisation and continuous learning to deliver better medicines to patients, faster.
  • Orchestrate and govern enterprise models and agents in a unified environment, enabling technical teams and biostatisticians to leverage existing data and AI investment, co-develop models and continuously refine decision logic.
  • Extend Decision Intelligence across the pharma organisation, adding new decision domains to the core simulation layer - such as supply chain planning and launch strategy - helping focus future investment on the decisions that matter most.

EMPOWERING DECISION-MAKERS ACROSS R&D

Strengthen early scientific decision-making by simulating how trial design parameters influence feasibility, recruitment dynamics and overall study performance. Test alternative assumptions, assess probability of success, and explore the operational implications of different design scenarios within a unified environment. Generate and compare scenarios in minutes, converging quickly on designs that balance scientific objectives with operational reality.
