Supported by Palantir’s industry-leading software,

Parexel’s clinical data platform provides an integrated digital environment to hyper-automate manual processes, safely promote data discoverability, distill insights from historical trials and streamline coordination among scientific and operational teams and their partners. Incorporating Foundry and AIP into the Parexel environment will provide Parexel’s customers real-time access to high-quality validated data, ensuring transparency during studies in-flight and condensed timelines from trial planning to submission.

“Parexel is well positioned to rapidly scale our use of AI to enhance data quality and streamline the clinical trial process to better deliver for our customers and patients,” said Stephen Pyke, DIC, Chief Clinical Data and

Digital Officer for Parexel and Chair of the Association of Clinical Research Organization’s (ACRO) AI/ML Committee. “Combining our end-to-end delivery model with Palantir’s world-class security, governance and Artificial Intelligence Platform will generate strategic insights to inform drug development and accelerate time to market.”

“Parexel has embraced the principles of digital transformation using generative AI at remarkable speed and scale,” said Dr. Lalarukh Haris Shaikh, Executive, Life Sciences at Palantir. “The company will significantly accelerate its business by untapping the value of data via an ontology constructed within Palantir Foundry and connecting it to the immense power of generative AI in AIP. We are delighted to deepen our exceptional collaboration with Parexel, empowering them to fully leverage the capabilities of AIP and Foundry throughout their clinical processes and business operations.”
