Advanced Feasibility Insights for Smarter Study Design
Advarra’s Study Design solution helps sponsors design protocols for greater operational efficiency in the real world. Powered by the industry’s richest set of digitized protocol-related documents and operational data, it gives sponsors deeper insights than solutions limited to in-house or public datasets.

Study Design Powered by AI and Data from Advarra’s IRB and Clinical Trial Systems
Simplify Trial Designs to Improve Operational Efficiency in Clinical Trials
Clinical trial protocol optimization processes are often done with incomplete data, using in-house studies or public datasets. This leaves researchers without robust comparative intelligence to improve trial designs and downstream operational efficiency.
Advarra Study Design solution provides insights on design factors that drive operational feasibility, such as the impact of eligibility criteria, burdensomeness of the schedule of assessment on sites and participants, and reasons for amendments. These insights enable sponsors to better anticipate downstream operational challenges, make informed decisions on how to simplify trial designs, and accelerate protocol development timelines.

Study Design solution is powered by Braid™, Advarra’s data and AI engine
Braid includes a uniquely rich and comprehensive set of operational data drawn from Advarra’s institutional review board (IRB) and clinical trial systems, encompassing over 170,000 protocol-related documents and operations data from 30,000 studies across over 3,500 sponsors.
Braid transforms unstructured data into actionable intelligence—enabling smarter trial design, faster decisions, and streamlined execution across the clinical trial lifecycle.
