Kendall Square Trial Design Challenge

Hosted by PhaseV, the Kendall Square Trial Design Challenge invites biopharma sponsors to put their trial protocols to the test. Submit your design and target metrics, and Trial Optimizer will demonstrate how advanced optimization can unlock new opportunities for trial success.

Learn more and submit your protocol synopsis by Dec 15, 2025.

How It Works

1. Submit

Sponsors confidentially upload a protocol synopsis and one or more design objectives (e.g., improve power, reduce enrollment time, lower cost, increase probability of success, etc.). PhaseV will review submissions using the following guiding principles to determine which are selected for optimization:

  • Completeness and clarity of the provided protocol synopsis and design objectives
  • Representation across therapeutic areas, ensuring a balanced mix of submissions
  • Fairness of selection, so that no single sponsor is overly represented among winners

Given the volume and quality of submissions (particularly the completeness of provided data) PhaseV cannot guarantee that all submissions will be optimized.

2. Optimize

PhaseV applies its Trial Optimizer to generate an optimized version of the submitted designs, identifying optimization opportunities and quantifying potential gains.

3. Win

Sponsors whose designs are selected for optimization will receive a complimentary preliminary optimized trial synopsis, along with incentivized pricing for a PhaseV service or subscription  valid through July 2026 (“Award”).

Following submission of the form, you'll receive a secure link to upload the protocol synopsis.

e.g., improve statistical power, reduce enrollment duration, lower trial cost, improve probability of 
success, etc.
