The company recently introduced a study planning solution to streamline trials.

Its Clinical Trial Intelligence Platform offers predictive analytics for sponsors and contract research organisations (CROs) in a continuous feedback cycle.

This approach can enhance the precision of subject enrolment prediction by up to 70 times.

The platform also helps save more than $1m in expenditures associated with participant retention and cutting down the time spent identifying trial site noncompliance problems by six months.

Lokavant CEO and co-founder Rohit Nambisan said: “Lokavant’s platform has driven significant value to pharmaceutical sponsors and CROs on global clinical trials and, with exceptional validation of the platform in Japan, it is a natural next step to launch Lokavant Asia. 

“With a distinguished track record in international business and a rapidly growing reputation in life sciences innovation, Mitsui & Co is the ideal strategic partner for the creation of Lokavant AsiaPac.”
