Phesi Files Patent for Proprietary Method and System for Developing Clinical Trial Protocols

Phesi’s patent application pertains to a method and system to expedite development of final criteria for a clinical protocol with reliable high quality and consistent objectivity. The method and system are designed to align the trial objective with a quantitative analysis of potential risks.

“Clinical trials are the workhorses of the pharmaceutical industry, the basis of the safe and effective use of new therapies,” said Gen Li, PhD, MBA, founder and chief executive officer of Phesi. “However, many clinical trials take longer than expected because of patient enrollment difficulties, which often result from suboptimal protocol design. This patent application covers an invention that provides a technical solution for designing a feasible protocol based on a targeted patient population. Our intellectual property yields valuable insights not only from successful clinical trials, but also from failed ones, including numerous high-profile failures.”

The USPTO has assigned the U.S. Serial Number 62/716,019 to Phesi’s patent application, which reflects the Company’s approach to data-driven drug development. Phesi’s approach utilizes millions of automated, dynamic, and real-time data sources to generate accurate and reliable insights. It enables faster patient enrollment and trial completion by facilitating assessment of competitive trial sites and identifying optimal sites. Additionally, by enabling relevant and accurate protocol design, Phesi’s approach heightens chances of trial success and optimizes the path toward regulatory approval.
