About us
TCS ADD™ Metadata Repository is a groundbreaking platform, a first for the industry to address challenges in metadata management and clinical study setup for the pharmaceutical domain. The platform optimizes workflows, enhances data quality, ensures compliance with industry standards, and accelerates study timelines. Key elements encompass end-to-end clinical metadata management (From data collection to tables, listings, and figures (TLF), intuitive mappings, real-time data accessibility, and AI-driven automation for generating submission-ready SDTM (Study Data Tabulation Model) and ADaM (Analysis Data Model) datasets.
US pharma innovator leverages TCS ADD™ Metadata Repository Platform
A large, innovation-driven US pharmaceutical company transformed its clinical trial submission process by implementing TCS’s AI-powered TCS ADD™ Metadata Repository Platform, setting a new industry benchmark.
The company faced several operational challenges, including fragmented standards, manual dataset generation, rising trial volumes, increasing compliance complexity, and limited automation. These issues caused inefficiencies, delayed submissions, and heightened regulatory risks thereby slowing down drug development timelines.
To address these, TCS implemented its next-generation, AI-powered TCS ADD™ Metadata Repository, a comprehensive platform that transforms the way clinical standards metadata, study metadata and transformation specs is managed, standardized, and submitted.
The platform included advanced AI and cognitive automation modules that helped automate the creation of submission-ready SDTM and ADaM datasets. As a foundation, the TCS ADD™ platform deployed a clinical standards metadata registry that manages metadata across the clinical data lifecycle. This included source data collection, SDTM, ADaM, ARS, controlled terminology, and lab standards—with traceability, transformation specs and version control. Smart governance and real-time monitoring ensured flexibility across different study scenarios while maintaining control and quality.
