Pharmaceuticals Leader
Accelerates Drug Discovery
with ThoughtSpot

PHARMA COMPANY

Highlights
The Changing Industry LandscapeThe healthcare market is undergoing massive change. In
pharmaceuticals, increased customer expectations, decreasing
insurance coverage and heightened regulations are creating newobstacles for pharma companies trying to bring successful
products to market. At the same time, new technologies, and theexplosion of data they are generating, are creating exciting
opportunities for growth and profitability. Pharma leaders whofigure out how to harness the potential of all this new data will
come out ahead.

Accelerating Discovery to Delivery
In the pharma industry, years can be spent in the discovery anddevelopment phase of a new drug, so the faster they can get
through this process, the sooner these solutions can get into thehands of patients who need them most. To speed up that process,scientists need access to as much information on the drug research
process as possible so that they can quickly figure out if a drug is
working, and if should move forward in the production phase.
Unfortunately, just getting researchers access to the rightinformation in a timely manner was a highly manual process. Eachdrug trial involves multiple different data types and data sources thatare stored in siloed areas. This customer stored all of this data in alegacy data warehouse that could only be accessed via SQL, and as
a result, the BI team was always underwater with requests that could
sometimes take up to 3 months to turn around.

ThoughtSpot Accelerates Pharma Leader’s Drug Discovery
Easy Access to Data
The company decided to create a centralized hub where thescientists could quickly access and analyze the data they needed tomake decisions about the trials they were running. They choseThoughtSpot because it was easy to integrate there various sources,
and it would give the scientists an easy to use interface to simply
search for their data.
They connected in data from their Biobank - bio specimens
collected over multiple years as part of execution of clinical trials,
omics data - genomics, proteomics and molecular signature dataand clinical trial data. Their goal was to help them create newtherapies and accelerate development of existing ones withvisibility to all this data.

From Months to Minutes
ThoughtSpot has been a huge success. Scientists can search
instantly across all of their drug data to analyze patient cohorts,
identify side effects, search for particular patient demographics anddrug responses, even check on inventory. They can take 450,000
samples and narrow it down to the right 250 samples simply by
typing it into a search bar. These are reports that used to take BIteams months to do, and scientists can run them in just minutes.

“Analyzing drug trial

results fast is crucial tospeeding up ourtime-to-market andkeeping patients safe.
With ThoughtSpot, ourscientists can now
search instantly acrosstrial results and identify
outliers in minutes
rather than months.”- GLOBAL HEAD OF RESEARCH

They can get actionable information from all the data very quickly,
allowing them to move the trial process along more quickly andcheaply and speed up time to market for life saving medicines. They
now have the ability to identify new drug candidates andtherapeutic candidates for those drugs to make it higher probability
to bring to market a useful drug.
