Agreement will leverage Evinova’s innovative AI-native platform to improve trial design, accelerate timelines, and enhance cost efficiency

Evinova today announced that Bristol Myers Squibb has signed an agreement to optimize clinical trials with Evinova’s AI-native clinical development platform. Under the terms of the agreement, Bristol Myers Squibb will deploy the Cost Optimizer module of Evinova’s Study Designer across the company’s global portfolio, harnessing advanced artificial intelligence to improve insight-driven decision making, identify productivity opportunities, and unlock more efficient trial designs that accelerate innovation and improve experience for sites and patients.

“Drug development is changing rapidly, and life science companies need partners who bring both AI leadership and clinical development expertise to successfully drive transformation,” said Cristina Duran, President of Evinova. “Evinova, founded by pharma for pharma, combines AI innovation with deep industry insight to reimagine clinical development. We’re thrilled to collaborate with Bristol Myers Squibb to drive efficiencies in drug development and accelerate breakthroughs for patients.”

“Transforming clinical development is not just an opportunity; it is an urgent necessity,” said Cristian Massacesi, MD, EVP, Chief Medical Officer & Head of Development at Bristol Myers Squibb. “For years, developing medicines has taken too long, cost too much money, and mostly resulted in failure. Digital tools and AI can help us overcome these limitations and lay the foundation for better health outcomes for countless individuals in the years to come. The decisions we make now will shape the future of medicine, accelerate progress and ensure that the benefits of scientific advancement reach those who need them most.”
