ESPERO - Digital-First eProtocol
ESPERO is transforming clinical research through digital protocol intelligence—turning unstructured study documents into standardized, analyzable data that powers smarter design, faster startup, and more informed site selection. By connecting ICH-M11 and USDM standards with real-world insights, ESPERO enables sponsors and partners to move confidently toward a future of data-driven research. The platform replaces static, manual workflows with dynamic, digital processes that improve collaboration, enhance compliance, and accelerate clinical development. With ESPERO, teams achieve greater efficiency, visibility, and quality across the entire clinical trial lifecycle.
PA1.ai - Biomarkers for Central Nervous System
PA1.ai accelerates and optimizes central nervous system (CNS) drug development by identifying likely responders, non-responders, and placebo responders before a clinical trial begins. Its AI-powered platform delivers a suite of predictive neuroimaging biomarkers for CNS conditions, integrating multimodal data across the following:
Cognitive profiles
Brain activity
Psychopathological, clinical, and demographic measures
By improving the quality and predictive strength of trial outcomes, PA1.ai increases the probability of therapeutic success and reduces sponsor costs through the early detection and exclusion of non-responders and placebo responders (meta-analyses indicate placebo response rates exceeding 40% in modern CNS trials). The result is smaller, faster, and more efficient clinical trials.
