SAS Clinical Enrollment Simulation Cloud is a powerful tool developed specifically for clinical trial enrollment planning in the pharmaceutical industry. However, it lacked the capability to quickly answer the what-if questions that are important for problem diagnosis and management of a clinical trial. SAS has now developed a new sensitivity analysis technology for use with the SAS Clinical Enrollment Simulation Cloud. It can conduct local sensitivity analysis to answer the what-if questions for any number of stochastic inputs without running additional simulations beyond the basic scenario. Instead of directly opening more sites to improve only the most important KPI—the time it takes to enroll a given target number of patients—the sensitivity measures suggest smart resource management and effort allocation strategies that are both time and cost efficient.
