Protocol & Program Workflows

Drug Discovery is critical for Pharmaceutical companies to maintain an edge over their competitors.  A drug discovery phase can take anywhere from 8-12 years. Every pharmaceutical company is looking at reducing the time-to-market of new drugs to ensure that the public has access to newer and better drugs with fewer side effects.

Drug Discovery programs go through multiple phases like Exploratory, Early and Full Phase Development. Being able to automate these phases as well as track various programs is a challenge faced by many companies.

In addition, being able to automate the scheduling of Assay runs and ordering of compounds needed for these runs will contribute towards reducing the overall time required to discover new drugs.

Ishi’s solution can be accessed by Scientists, Stakeholders and Demand Managers. It allows scientists, stakeholders and demand managers with the ability to:

• Create, modify, view and validate Protocols, for in-vitro and in-vivo experiments
• Create, modify and view Programs and Functional Groups and associate protocols
• Allows scientists, program heads etc. to transition programs through phases
• Create Requests for run of Assay Suites
• Integration with COTS products such as ABASE
• Ordering of Compounds
• Editing, querying and viewing capabilities on Assays, Runs, Results of Runs, Orders and Requests

This solution enables creation of Requests for running Compounds against Assay Suites, resolution of these Requests by creation of Runs in COTS products such as ABASE. The solution also allows the business managers to create, modify and view Programs and Functional Groups.

The solution can serve as the primary source of Protocol definitions. The solution also provides business owners with a clear visibility into the pipeline and the status of every drug in the pipeline.
