Medable launched its DDF Agent, a software tool that converts static clinical trial protocols into machine-readable structured data in CDISC USDM 4.0 JSON format. The company said the system supports automated generation of electronic clinical outcomes assessments (eCOAs) while maintaining alignment across protocol amendments and downstream trial systems. Medable positioned the product as infrastructure for faster, more continuous clinical trial operations, aligning with the FDA’s push toward real-time clinical trials and ongoing data review. The announcement also targets a persistent operational bottleneck: protocols stored as narrative documents that require extensive manual interpretation before being usable across trial execution workflows. For sponsors and CROs, the immediate value proposition is reduced manual handoffs, faster operational changes when study terms evolve, and more consistent traceability between source protocols and operational data.
