Clinical trial setup is one of the most resource-intensive phases of every study. Designing study visits, eCRFs, edit checks, validation rules, and controlled terminology requires extensive expertise and countless hours of manual work. Marvin Study Designer is an AI-powered study design application that dramatically accelerates this process. Built as a companion to the Marvin EDC platform, it transforms a simple study description or clinical protocol into a complete, review-ready, CDISC-compliant study definition within minutes.
Designed specifically for sponsors, CROs, and clinical data management teams, Marvin Study Designer combines the efficiency of artificial intelligence with the governance, transparency, and regulatory oversight required for modern clinical research
Build Complete Studies in Minutes
Whether you start with a short study description or upload a protocol document, Marvin Study Designer automatically generates a complete study structure, including:
• Study visits
• eCRFs and forms
• Data fields
• Controlled terminology
• Validation rules
• Edit checks
Instead of starting from a blank screen, clinical data managers receive a structured, review-ready draft that can be refined and approved before deployment into Marvin EDC.
The result is a significantly faster study build process with greater consistency and reduced manual effort.
AI Built for Clinical Data Management
Unlike generic AI tools, Marvin Study Designer has been developed specifically for clinical research.
Its AI is informed by a knowledge base of more than 840 real-world CDISC ODM study definitions, allowing it to generate study designs based on proven clinical data management practices—not generic large language model assumptions.
This enables:
• Higher-quality first drafts
• Faster study setup
• Greater consistency across studies
• Improved CDISC compliance
• Reduced configuration effort
Secure AI Without Compromising Your Data
Data security is a critical requirement for every clinical organization.
Unlike cloud-based AI applications that transmit data to external providers, Marvin Study Designer operates entirely within AB Cube Germany’s own infrastructure.
Your protocols, study definitions, and sensitive project information remain under your control at all times.
No study protocols, patient data, or confidential information are shared with external AI services or third-party data processors.
This makes Marvin Study Designer an ideal solution for organizations with strict security, compliance, and data governance requirements.
Human-in-the-Loop AI
Artificial intelligence should support clinical experts—not replace them.
Marvin Study Designer follows a human-in-the-loop approach:
• AI generates the initial study draft.
• Clinical experts review every visit, form, field, and validation rule.
• Built-in validation checks ensure consistency with Marvin’s business rules before publication.
Every study remains fully transparent, editable, and under expert control throughout the design process.
Beyond Study Design
Marvin Study Designer does more than generate study structures.It also helps accelerate study validation by automatically creating:
• Edit checks
• Synthetic patient data
• Test users
These capabilities enable faster UAT, quicker study validation, and a smoother path to go-live.
“Marvin Study Designer combines the speed of AI with the oversight required for regulated clinical research. It enables clinical teams to reduce manual effort, accelerate study startup, and confidently use AI without compromising data security or quality.”
