Clinical Data Management (CDM) Operations PEAK Matrix® Assessment 2025

Clinical Data Management (CDM) is rapidly transforming as life sciences enterprises navigate increasing trial complexity, heightened regulatory scrutiny, and the expansion of decentralized and real-world data sources. CDM now plays a strategic role in enabling faster, more reliable trial outcomes through harmonized data practices.

To address this shift, providers are integrating AI, generative AI, and automation throughout the CDM lifecycle, enhancing efficiency in data ingestion, validation, medical coding, and protocol design. These advances, coupled with global delivery capabilities and deep therapeutic expertise, are empowering enterprises to scale operations and navigate patient-centric trials’ demands. In response to evolving market needs, providers are also expanding their portfolios to offer comprehensive, end-to-end solutions across the CDM value chain.
