Company News
PSI CRO, a global clinical research organisation, has reduced clinical trial site identification from up to six weeks to minutes using SYNETIC, an AI knowledge engine powered by the Arango Contextual Data Platform. The system helps identify higher-performing trial sites and minimise costly non-enrolling institutions, which account for 30-40% of trial sites. Clinical trials can cost over $160 per minute operationally, and activating a trial site costs $30,000 or more. With 15% of sites never enrolling a single patient, failed recruitment can cost millions per study. SYNETIC unifies fragmented clinical research data into a single contextual layer, preserving relationships across investigators, institutions, protocols and historical outcomes. The platform provides explainable AI recommendations, including rationale, supporting evidence and confidence levels, enabling data-driven site selection in minutes rather than weeks.
PSI CRO strengthens Canadian presence with new Toronto office and leadership role. PSI CRO has broadened its footprint in Canada by opening a new office in the Toronto area and naming an experienced industry leader to guide its operations there. The office, located in Mississauga, Ontario, builds on the company's established Canadian presence and commitment to clinical research excellence. PSI CRO has been active in Canada for over a decade, supporting complex clinical trials with a focus on dependable delivery and strong relationships with research sites. As part of this expansion, David Allen, MBA, has been appointed as Country Manager for Canada. Allen brings more than 30 years of experience in clinical research from both sponsor and CRO environments. In his new role, he will lead efforts to enhance the company's operational capabilities in the local market and ensure alignment with PSI's global standards for on-time trial execution. PSI's continued growth in North America reflects broader trends of increasing trial activity in the region, particularly for pivotal phase II and phase III studies where precision and efficiency are critical. The expanded Toronto operations aim to further support sponsors with rigorous trial planning and execution.
