Data anomalies are unusual or unexpected values, relationships or patterns — a Grade 4 lab abnormality with no corresponding adverse event, for example — and standard edit checks are not built to catch patterns that raise clinical questions. Phase III trials collect an average of 5.9 million data points per protocol, and data volume in clinical trials has been growing at 11% annually since 2020. Only 1.7% of data points were changed as a result of queries in a meta-analysis of 20 Phase III trials, which suggests most of the data was fine and the anomalies are the expensive part.",
