Novartis: Accelerating Drug Development with AI-Powered Clinical Trial Transformation
Novartis
Novartis partnered with AWS Professional Services and Accenture to modernize their drug development infrastructure and integrate AI across clinical trials, with the goal of reducing trial development cycles by at least six months. The initiative built a GXP-compliant data mesh platform on AWS with Databricks for processing, enabling AI use cases including protocol generation and an intelligent decision system (digital twin). Early results from the patient safety domain showed 72% query speed improvements, 60% storage cost reduction, and 160+ hours of manual work eliminated. The protocol generation use case achieved 83-87% acceleration in producing compliant protocols.
