Case Study: Santen achieves faster development of ocular therapies with SAS Life Science Analytics Framework

Improving eye health via clearer data analysis

Santen, a global ophthalmic pharmaceutical company headquartered in Osaka, needed a single, reliable clinical information repository to support a distributed development team and collaborators across Japan, China, the US and Europe. The company faced challenges around data integrity, version control, cross‑functional collaboration, streamlined clinical research workflows and rapid production of audit reports for regulatory submissions.

Santen implemented the SAS Life Science Analytics Framework as a cloud‑based, centralized analytics platform with role‑based, file‑level access, versioning and audit trails. The solution gave global teams a single snapshot of data, simplified workflow management and compliance reporting, sped up drug development and submission processes, and helped bring ocular therapies to patients more quickly.
