Stay ahead of change, plan ahead for what's next

Better visibility into cash needs – with fewer surprises

Always have a clear picture of cash needs across your R&D programs - with early awareness of potential deviations so you're never caught off guard.

Granular detail, clearer answers

Forecast with detail down to the vendor, activity, or line-item level. That way, you can explain any variance and not just report it.

Streamlined cross-functional collaboration

Free up clinical operations by giving finance their own view into the trial data, so finance can answer their own questions and loop clinical ops in only when it counts.

Built for the complexity of clinical trial forecasting

Powerful forecasting capabilities, built around how clinical trials actually work.

Fully configurable forecasts

Quickly set forecasts at a high level or drill into vendor and activity-level detail to capture additional nuance – with your forecast recalibrating each time actuals are booked.

Dynamic clinical drivers

Build your forecast around enrollment curves, site activation, and timeline milestones.

Change order management

Upload a change order and watch the impact cascade across your forecast instantly.

Scenario modeling

Model and compare the impact of enrollment changes or shifts to timeline on your CRO budget.

Frequently Asked Questions

How flexible and configurable is the Auxilius forecast model?

Completely flexible. Every activity can be forecasted by whatever methodology fits it best: By timeline, patient enrollment curve, site activation curve, or a custom curve for milestone-based costs. It's the same level of control you'd build manually, minus the manual updates and rebuilds every time something changes.

I already have a planning tool. How is this different?

Auxilius doesn't replace your planning tool, it complements it. Industry-agnostic tools like Anaplan and Adaptive operate at the corporate level and aren't built to manage the complexity and variability of clinical trial spend: Things like enrollment curves, site activation curves, and change orders. Auxilius handles that clinical-level forecasting and exports the result into your planning tool as a single line item, so your corporate process stays intact.

How much detail can I get into my forecast?

Your Auxilius forecast is built to support any level of granularity, down to the activity, site, and patient level. You can compare your current forecast against the vendor estimate and past periods for any line item, so if something like site monitoring spikes, you can see exactly what's behind it instead of just an aggregate number.

What if I get a change order or protocol amendment?

With our change order and protocol amendment tools, your forecast can stay current with your trial changes. Simply upload change orders and protocol amendments to be modeled in the system, review proposed changes to the model, and accept. Placeholder budgets can also be added for anticipated change orders that haven't been approved yet.

How do I model scenarios?

With the Auxilius scenario builder tool, you can model and compare what-if scenarios separately from your forecast to see how changes to your trial could impact your forecast. Scenarios like shifting trial timelines and increased patient enrollment can be easily modeled and compared without touching your forecast.

How do I forecast investigator spend?

Instead of relying on your CRO's high-level estimate, Auxilius lets you forecast investigator spend patient by patient, using your site contracts, protocol schedule, and EDC data. Already-enrolled patients are projected off their remaining visits; future patients can be modeled with averages or regional data.

How can I use this to better collaborate with my ClinOps team?

We've found that since finance teams now have their own view of trial progress, they can come to ClinOps teams asking for clarification of the data they're seeing in Auxilius instead of a full recap of what has happened in their trial.
