 Exhibit 10.1 

MEDIDATA SOLUTIONS, INC. 
 AMENDED
AND RESTATED EXECUTIVE CHANGE IN CONTROL AGREEMENT 
 AGREEMENT made as of the 9th day of August, 2016, by and between MEDIDATA SOLUTIONS,
INC. (“Company”) and [            ] (“Executive”). 
 1. Background.
The parties have previously signed an Executive Change in Control Agreement dated as of January 20, 2009, and amended as of March 1, 2012 and July 7, 2014 (the “Prior Agreement”) to provide Executive with certain payments
and benefits upon an involuntary termination of Executive’s employment or the occurrence of certain other circumstances that may affect Executive’s employment following a change in control of the Company. The parties wish to amend and
restate the Prior Agreement and the Company believes this Agreement will help ensure Executive’s undivided focus on the business of the Company during a period of transition and uncertainty and thereby enhance shareholder value. 

2. Certain Defined Terms. The following terms have the following meanings when used in this Agreement. 

2.1 “Accrued Compensation” means, as of any date, (1) the unpaid amount, if any, of Executive’s previously earned base
salary, (2) the unpaid amount, if any, of the bonus earned by Executive for the preceding year, and (3) additional payments or benefits, if any, earned by Executive under and in accordance with any employee plan, program or arrangement of
or with the Company or an Affiliate (other than this Agreement). 
 2.2 “Affiliate” means an entity at least 50% of the voting,
capital or profits interests of which are owned directly or indirectly by Company. 
 2.3 “Benefit Continuation Coverage” means
continuing group health and group life insurance coverage for Executive and, where applicable, Executive’s covered spouse and covered eligible dependents for a specified period following the termination of Executive’s Employment with
Company and its Affiliates at the same benefit and contribution levels in effect for active senior executives of the Company as in effect from time to time during such period. Unless sooner terminated, Benefit Continuation Coverage will be subject
to early termination if and when Executive becomes entitled to comparable coverage from another employer. 
 2.4 “Board” means the
Board of Directors of the Company. 
 2.5 “Cause” means (1) Executive’s willful failure (except where due to physical or
mental incapacity) or refusal to perform in any material respect the duties and responsibilities of Executive’s employment which is not corrected within ten days following written notice of such conduct by the Company; (2) misappropriation
by Executive of the assets or business opportunities of the Company or its Affiliates; (3) embezzlement or fraud committed by Executive, at Executive’s direction, or with Executive’s prior personal knowledge; or
(4) Executive’s conviction of, or plea of guilty or nolo contendere to, the commission of a felony. 
 2.6 “Change in
Control” means the occurrence of any of the following (excluding the completion of the Company’s initial public offering): 

  
 1 

 (a) any person (within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) or 14(d)(2) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”)) other than the Company, any employee benefit plan of the Company, any entity owned directly or indirectly by the shareholders of the Company in substantially the same proportion as their
ownership of stock of the Company or any person who becomes a beneficial owner directly or indirectly of securities of the Company pursuant to a transaction described in (b) below, becomes the beneficial owner (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3
promulgated under the Exchange Act) of securities of the Company (not including in the securities beneficially owned by such person any securities acquired directly from the Company or its affiliates) representing 50% or more of the combined voting
power of the Company’s then outstanding voting securities; 
 (b) consolidation, merger or reorganization of the Company, unless
(1) the stockholders of Company immediately before such consolidation, merger or reorganization own, directly or indirectly, at least a majority of the combined voting power of the outstanding voting securities of the corporation or other
entity resulting from such consolidation, merger or reorganization, (2) individuals who were members of the Board immediately prior to the execution of the agreement providing for such consolidation, merger or reorganization constitute a
majority of the board of directors of the surviving corporation or of a corporation directly or indirectly beneficially owning a majority of the voting securities of the surviving corporation, and (3) no person beneficially owns more than 50%
of the combined voting power of the then outstanding voting securities of the surviving corporation (other than a person who is (A) Company or a subsidiary of Company, (B) an employee benefit plan maintained by Company, the surviving
corporation or any subsidiary, or (C) the beneficial owner of 50% or more of the combined voting power of the outstanding voting securities of Company immediately prior to such consolidation, merger or reorganization); 

(c) the replacement of a majority of the Board in any given year as compared to the directors who constituted the Board at the beginning of
such year, and such replacement shall not have been approved by a vote of at least two-thirds of the Board as constituted at the beginning of such year; 

(d) sale or other disposition of all or substantially all (50% or more) of the assets of the Company (other than to an entity described in
(b) above); or 
 (e) any other event or transaction which the Board, acting in its discretion, designates is a Change in Control. 

2.7 “Code” means the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. 

2.8 “Company” means Medidata Solutions, Inc. and any successor thereto. 

2.9 “Employment” means Executive’s employment with the Company and/or any of its Affiliates. 

2.10 “Good Reason” means the occurrence of any of the following without the written consent of Executive: (1) a material
diminution by Company or an Affiliate of Executive’s duties or responsibilities in a manner which is inconsistent with Executive’s position prior to a Change in Control or which has or is reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect
on 

  
 2 

 
Executive’s status or authority; (2) a relocation by more than 50 miles of Executive’s principal place of business; or (3) a reduction by Company or an Affiliate of
Executive’s rate of salary or annual incentive opportunity or a breach by Company or any of its Affiliates of a material provision of any written employment or other agreement with Executive. Before terminating Employment for Good Reason,
Executive must specify in writing to the Company (or the successor or acquiring company) the nature of the act or omission that Executive deems to constitute Good Reason and provide the Company (or the successor or acquiring company) 30 days after
receipt of such notice to review and, if required, correct the situation (and thus prevent Executive’s termination for Good Reason). Notice of termination for Good Reason must be provided, if at all, within 90 days after the occurrence of the
event or condition giving rise to such termination. The failure of Executive to be a senior executive officer of a public company following a Change in Control shall not, by itself, constitute Good Reason. 

2.11 “Pro Rata Bonus” means the product of (1) the annual incentive award (if any) that would have been earned by Executive for
the calendar year in which the Executive’s Employment terminates if the Executive’s Employment had not terminated, multiplied by (2) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days elapsed from the beginning of that calendar
year until the date the Executive’s employment terminates, and the denominator of which is 365. 
 2.12 “Salary” means, as of
the effective date of the termination of Executive’s Employment, the highest annual rate of Executive’s salary at any time during the preceding 24 months. 

3. General Severance Protection. If there has been a Change in Control of the Company, and either (a) during the period beginning on the date of
the execution of the definitive agreement leading to the Change in Control and ending on the date that is twenty four (24) months after the Change in Control, Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company without Cause, or
(b) within twenty four (24) months from and including the date of the Change in Control Executive’s employment is terminated by Executive for Good Reason, then, subject to Sections 4 and 7, Executive shall receive the following
payments and benefits: 
 (a) Executive’s Accrued Compensation; 

(b) payment of any business expenses that were previously incurred but not reimbursed and are otherwise eligible for reimbursement; 

(c) a cash payment equal to Executive’s Pro Rata Bonus based upon Executive’s target bonus for the year of termination and payable
immediately following such termination of Employment; 
 (d) a single sum cash payment, to be made as soon as practicable (but not more than
thirty days) following termination of employment, of an amount equal to 2.0 times the sum of (1) Executive’s Salary, and (2) Executive’s target annual incentive award for the calendar year in which the Executive’s employment
terminates (or, if greater, the actual annual incentive award earned by Executive for the preceding calendar year); 

  
 3 

 (e) waiver of any service-based vesting conditions as to one hundred percent (100%) of the
then unvested portion of all of Executive’s outstanding Company equity awards that are assumed by the acquiring or successor company (or an affiliate thereof) and that are subject, in whole or in part, to service-based vesting conditions; and

 (f) Benefit Continuation Coverage for a period of two years from the termination date, which shall be in addition to and not in lieu of
COBRA coverage, provided, however, that, if such coverage is not permitted by the Company’s group health plan or by applicable law, the Company will provide COBRA continuation coverage to Executive and spouse and eligible dependents at the
Company’s sole expense, if and to the extent they or any of them shall have elected and shall be entitled to receive COBRA continuation coverage, and provided further that, if such COBRA continuation coverage terminates before the end of such
two-year period, the Company shall pay or reimburse Executive for the payment of premiums for comparable individual health insurance coverage for the balance of such two-year period. Any such Company-paid COBRA coverage and/or individual health
insurance coverage will be subject to early termination if and when Executive becomes entitled to comparable coverage from another employer. 
 4.
Restoration. Any severance payments and benefits paid under Section 3(c) through (f) shall be subject to continuing compliance with any applicable outstanding non-disclosure, non-competition and non-solicitation covenants made by
Executive to the Company. 
 5. Effect of a Change in Control on Performance Based Awards. The effect of a Change in Control on an outstanding equity
award that is subject to performance-based vesting or earn-out conditions will be determined in accordance with the terms set forth in the performance-based award agreement. For purposes of clarification, any service-based vesting conditions
applicable to such performance-based award will be waived if and to the extent provided in Section 3(e) above. 
  

	6.	Tax Adjustment Payment. 

 6.1 Tax Adjustment Payment. In the event that the
Executive becomes entitled to severance benefits under this Agreement, or under any other agreement with or plan of the Company (in the aggregate, the “Total Payments”), if all or any part of the Total Payments will be subject to the tax
imposed by Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”) (or any similar tax that may hereafter be imposed) (the “Excise Tax”), the Total Payments shall be reduced (but not below zero) such that the value of the
Total Payments shall be one dollar ($1) less than the maximum amount of payments which the Executive may receive without becoming subject to the tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code; provided, however, that the foregoing limitation shall not
apply in the event that it is determined that the Total Payments on an after-tax basis (i.e., after payment of federal, state, and local income taxes, penalties, interest, and Excise Tax) if such limitation is not applied would exceed the after-tax
benefits to the Executive if such limitation is applied. The Executive shall bear the expense of any and all Excise Taxes due on any payments that are deemed to be “excess parachute payments” under Section 280G of the Code. 

6.2 Tax Computation. The determination of whether any of the Total Payments will be subject to the Excise Tax and the assumptions to be
used in arriving at such determination, shall be made by a nationally recognized certified public accounting firm that does not serve as an accountant or auditor for any individual, entity or group effecting the Change in Control as designated by
the Company (the “Accounting Firm”). The Accounting Firm will provide detailed supporting calculations to the Company and the Executive within fifteen (15) business days of the receipt of notice from the Executive or the Company
requesting a calculation hereunder. All fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm will be paid by the Company. 

  
 4 

 7. Release of Claims. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company may condition severance
payments or benefits otherwise payable under Section 3(c) through (f) of this Agreement upon the execution and delivery by Executive (or Executive’s beneficiary) of a general release in favor of Company, its Affiliates and their
officers, directors and employees, in such form as the Company may reasonably specify. Any payment or benefit that is so conditioned may be deferred until the expiration of the seven day revocation period prescribed by the Age Discrimination in
Employment Act of 1967, as amended, or any similar revocation period in effect on the effective date of the termination of Executive’s Employment. 

8. Effect of Other Agreements. This Agreement represents the entire agreement of the parties on the subject matter hereof and shall supersede any and
all previous contracts, arrangements or understandings between Executive and the Company regarding Executive’s termination of employment in connection with a Change in Control, including but not limited to the Prior Agreement. 

9. No Duty to Mitigate. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein with respect to early termination of Benefit Continuation Coverage,
Executive’s entitlement to payments or benefits hereunder is not subject to mitigation or a duty to mitigate by Executive. 
 10. Amendment. The
Company may amend this Agreement, provided, however, that, no such action which would have the effect of reducing or diminishing Executive’s entitlements under this Agreement shall be effective without the express written consent of Executive.

  

	11.	Successors and Beneficiaries. 

 11.1 Successors and Assigns of Company. The
Company shall require any successor or assignee, whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise, to all or substantially all the business or assets of Company and its subsidiaries taken as a whole, expressly and
unconditionally to assume and agree to perform or cause to be performed Company’s obligations under this Agreement. In any such event, the term “Company,” as used herein shall mean Company, as defined in Section 2 hereof, and any
such successor or assignee. 
 11.2 Executive’s Beneficiary. For the purposes hereof, Executive’s beneficiary will be the
person or persons designated as such in a written beneficiary designation filed with the Company, which may be revoked or revised in the same manner at any time prior to Executive’s death. In the absence of a properly filed written beneficiary
designation or if no designated beneficiary survives Executive, Executive’s estate will be deemed to be the beneficiary hereunder. 

11.3 Nonassignability. With the exception of Executive’s beneficiary designation, neither Executive nor Executive’s
beneficiary may pledge, transfer or assign in any way the right to receive payments or benefits hereunder, and any attempted pledge, transfer or assignment shall be void and of no force or effect. 

  
 5 

 12. Legal Fees to Enforce Rights after a Change in Control. If, following a Change in Control, Company
fails to comply with any of its obligations under this Agreement or Company takes any action to declare this Agreement void or unenforceable or institutes any litigation or other legal action designed to deny, diminish or to recover from Executive
(or Executive’s beneficiary) the payments and benefits intended to be provided, then Executive (or Executive’s beneficiary, as the case may be) shall be entitled to select and retain counsel at the expense of Company to represent Executive
(or Executive’s beneficiary) in connection with the good faith initiation or defense of any litigation or other legal action, whether by or against Company or any director, officer, stockholder or other person affiliated with Company or any
successor thereto in any jurisdiction. 
 13. Not a Contract of Employment. This Agreement shall not be deemed to constitute a contract of employment
between Executive and Company or any of its Affiliates. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to give Executive a right to be retained in the employ or other service of Company or any of its Affiliates or to interfere with the right of Company or
any of its Affiliates to terminate Executive’s employment at any time. 
 14. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the
State of New York, excluding its conflict of law rules. 
 15. Withholding. Company and its Affiliates may withhold from any and all amounts payable
under this Agreement such federal, state and local taxes as may be required to be withheld pursuant to applicable law. 
 16. Compliance with
Section 409A. It is intended that any amounts payable to the Executive under this Agreement will be exempt from the provisions of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (“Section 409A”). Nevertheless, if and to the
extent that a payment under this Agreement is deemed to be subject to Section 409A (a “Covered Payment”), then, for the purposes of the Agreement and Section 409A: 

(a) Each Covered Payment will be treated as a separate payment under Section 409A. 

(b) The phrase “termination of employment” or words of like import shall be deemed to mean a “separation from
service” within the meaning of Section 409A. 
 (c) If the Executive is treated as a “specified
employee” within the meaning of Section 409A when Executive’s employment terminates, any Covered Payment that would otherwise be due within six months after such termination of employment will be delayed until the first business day
of the seventh month following the date of termination of the Executive’s employment or, if earlier, the date of the Executive’s death, to the extent such delay is required by Section 409A. On the delayed payment date, the Executive
(or, if applicable, the deceased Executive’s estate) will receive a catch-up payment equal to the aggregate amount of the Covered Payments that were delayed pursuant to the preceding sentence. 

  
 6 

 (d) If, in accordance with Section 7 of this Agreement, the Company decides
to condition the Executive’s right to receive severance payments or benefits on the Executive’s delivery of a release of claims, then the Company must furnish the form of release to the Executive no more than thirty days after the date the
Executive’s employment terminates. The Executive may satisfy the release condition by delivering the signed release to the Company within thirty days after the Executive receives the form of release from the Company and by not revoking such
release within the applicable statutory revocation period. If the release condition is satisfied, any payments subject to the release condition will be made or begin on the day following the date on which the release condition is satisfied, provided
that, if the period during which the release condition may be satisfied straddles two calendar years, payment will be made on the later of the date on which the release condition is satisfied and January 2 of the calendar year following the
calendar year in which the Executive’s employment is terminated. 
 (e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Executive
shall be solely responsible for, and the Company shall have no liability for or with respect to any taxes, acceleration of taxes, interest or penalties arising under Section 409A. 

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have executed this Agreement as of the date first above written.
