We help you get clinical trials designed, built & submitted faster
With our clinical metadata repository (MDR) & study automation platform.
Why Formedix? Speed. Compliance. And ROI
Basically, we come to work every day to make clinical trials less of a headache! Like when you’re trying to juggle lots of files in different places. And get through so many labour intensive tasks. Sound familiar? Like designing CRFs. Clinical study builds. SDTM mappings. Converting datasets to SDTM. Creating define files… It’s not easy.
But it doesn’t have to be that way. Our clinical metadata repository and clinical trial automation software make it super quick and easy to manage your metadata. And comply with standards. The result? You get loads more done, much faster. That means a quick return on your investment, and a real chance to make great profits. What’s not to love!
How we started
Meet Mark, our founder and CEO. Mark is HUGELY passionate about the industry. He likes the people. Loves talking shop. Quite simply, it’s what makes him happy!
It all started many moons ago with a pharmacy degree. Next he went to run clinical trials at a pharmaceutical company. He could hardly believe how long it took to set up a clinical trial. Then came the ‘Ah-ha’ moment. The entrepreneur in Mark took over. And from a bedroom in Glasgow, he trail blazed his way into metadata software. He launched the first ever clinical trial design tool based on CDISC standards. That was way back in 2000. And Formedix has been his raison d’être ever since!
Almost 20 years on and he’s still hooked. Now Mark’s taking the Formedix family to the next level… on ‘the cloud’ we go! Ever more exciting opportunities ahead – for us, for the industry, and most of all for you, if you join us!

Testimonials
We’re using the Formedix platform to design CDASH example CRFs for the CDISC CDASH-IG standards package. We can create, visualize, edit and approve eCRFs in the platform, then export them in ODM-XML to use in the CDISC Library and standards packages. Formedix is one of CDISC’s longest standing members. CDISC is keen to work with technology partners that help pharmaceutical organizations to adopt and keep pace with emerging CDISC standards.
Formedix has been a valuable resource and their services have added value to our platform and data management capabilities.
Effortless CDISC compliance
We manage your CDISC compliance. So you don’t have to.
Don’t worry about meeting the latest FDA data standards. Formedix supports all versions of CDISC standards. And we keep our platform updated in line with CDISC and NCI standards. That way your study designs and datasets are always regulatory compliant.
As one of the first CDISC members back in 2001, you can rely on our deep rooted knowledge of all things CDISC. We’re members of the CDISC XML technical team. As such we’ve been involved in developing many key features in CDISC ODM and Define models. This makes us well placed to give real-world, practical CDISC training. See our CDISC membership certificate for the year 2020-2021. Click below to find out more.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long has Formedix incorporated CDISC standards?
Formedix was one of the first CDISC members back in 2001. We launched the first ever clinical trial design tool based on CDISC standards in 2004. From there we’ve continued to stay ahead with all things CDISC! For example, we introduced the ability to design datasets based on the CDISC Define.xml data model in 2008. We added the ability to create SDTM datasets for studies. And also made Define.xml file creation possible, supporting the latest version of the standard, Define-XML 2.0. That’s a lot of history and expertise gained over the years!
Is Formedix involved with the CDISC XML team?
Yes. Being part of the CDISC XML team means we’ve been involved in developing CDISC ODM and Define models.
Is Formedix involved in CDISC 360?
Yes. CDISC is using Formedix to design annotated CDASH CRFs, and to view and review their CRF library. They’re also managing updates and versioning using our platform.
Which versions of CDISC standards does Formedix support?
Formedix supports all versions of CDISC standards, including old versions. Our platform is updated in line with CDISC and NCI standards. That means your study designs and datasets are always regulatory compliant!
What CDISC standards are required for regulatory submission to the FDA?
CDISC SDTM, ADaM, Define-XML and SEND must be implemented, and adhered to, at specific stages during a clinical study. Formedix has CDISC standards built in to keep you compliant from start to finish!
The Formedix metadata repository and clinical trial automation platform will help you design, build, and submit your trials much faster than before.
