Sanofi Deepens Partnership with Medidata to Expedite the Development of New Therapies with an Improved Patient Journey

Expanded 10+ year partnership to use Medidata Experiences to streamline clinical processes and data, improving patient care.
Medidata, a Dassault Systèmes brand and leading provider of clinical trial solutions to the life sciences industry, and Sanofi announced an expansion of their partnership to bolster clinical research. This new agreement will take advantage of the Medidata Patient, Data, and Study Experiences, building on both organisations’ shared vision to boost innovation in studies, speed new therapies to market, and promote health outcomes for people globally.
The Medidata Experiences address the fragmented, standalone tools of the life sciences industry by offering AI-embedded, platform-based solutions across clinical workflows, unifying trial processes, diminishing silos, and reducing costs and delays. Combining these Experiences with Sanofi’s pharmaceutical knowledge will advance studies, amplifying the development of therapies with greater precision and impact.
Gaelan Ritter, global head of digital clinical development at Sanofi, said:
"Sanofi and Medidata have worked together for a decade within clinical research, including a collaboration in 2024. With this broadened relationship, we will continue harnessing the power of AI, optimising our clinical trials, and ultimately expediting the delivery of groundbreaking medicines."
Sanofi will employ Medidata’s expertise and capabilities in decentralised clinical trials as part of this new enterprise agreement. Medidata will also provide strategic consulting and end-to-end operational support, empowering Sanofi to further streamline research processes.
Lisa Moneymaker, chief strategy officer at Medidata, said:
"Clinical development is complex, and biopharma companies demand a strategic partner who can help them enhance data quality, improve study design, and elevate patient care. Through our alliance, Sanofi can leverage our unified solutions, specifically mapped out to meet their core needs, to simplify execution and accelerate the entire clinical development process."
