Exploristics’ Simulation Survey

KerusCloud is a uniquely powerful software tool that simulates thousands of realistic clinical scenarios at a time, so every variable aspect of a study’s design can be fully optimised in silico. Spending a couple of minutes with the Exploristics’ Simulation Survey will help us determine if you’re currently getting the most out of your current approach to trial design and whether KerusCloud may be a good choice for your organisation.

Do you use study simulation to optimise the design of your clinical studies?

Yes No

How often do you use simulation to support study design optimisation?

Every time Frequently Occasionally

What type of studies do you design using simulation?

Precision Medicine Adaptive Design Other (please specify)

Which type of simulation tools do you use?

East FACTs TrialSimulator Addplan Your own code Other (please specify)

If you create bespoke simulation code, how transferrable is this across projects?

Directly With additional coding Non-transferrable N/A

Are there times when the tools you use do not do what you need them to?

Yes No

What are their limitations?

Not specific enough Too much time required to get up to speed Limitations with available IT infrastructure Other (please specify)

Do you encounter difficulties searching the literature and historical data to provide a basis for your study assumptions?

Yes No

Can you tell us more about the specific difficulties you are having?

Are you under time pressure to generate results according to protocol-approval timescales?

Yes No

Do you experience limitations in simulation size due to available computational resource?

Yes No

Within your organisation, what is the level of skill and expertise for simulation?

HIgh Medium Low

Within your organisation, do you have difficulties in sharing knowledge and code between research groups across your clinical trial portfolio to avoid duplication?

Yes No

Do you have a structured process to feed clinical insights gained during a real study back into your study planning and design process?

Yes No

Which additional software features could augment your current clinical trial planning process?

Cloud-based processing to generate complex simulations removing the need for computing infrastructure

Cloud-based knowledge repository for easy access and sharing within and across research teams

Generation of realistic synthetic data comprised of modern data types, risk factors and outcomes avoiding concerns about data privacy

User-friendly interface for rapid construction of development scenarios and easy refinement of study options without the need for programming

Interactive visualisation of results for exploration of simulated results to evaluate the interactions between study parameters and their effect on outcomes

The ability to export synthetic data, results and reports for further exploration, validation or audit

The use of predefined data libraries for rapid set up of high-dimensional simulations to generate virtual patient populations to mimic the real world
