Castor and Trialbee’s logical integration allows sponsors to meet enrollment timelines with continuous access to all their study data. Together, the fast-growing companies will expedite patient recruitment and streamline clinical trials through advanced data science and streamlined workflows for patient enrollment, data collection, and engagement. The partnership will diversify patient participation and improve equitable health outcomes for global decentralized and hybrid clinical programs.
“We are excited to partner with Trialbee to improve patient engagement, as well as optimize patient diversity and study inclusivity with real-time insights around patient demographics across all recruitment channels,” said Derk Arts, M.D., Ph.D., CEO & Founder, Castor. “Our partnership provides sponsors a seamless decentralized and hybrid clinical trial solution to manage all their clinical trial touchpoints and expand inclusivity at a global scale.”
Recruiting and retaining qualified clinical trial participants is increasingly difficult as clinical study designs become more complex. According to industry estimates, the amount of patient eligibility in clinical trials has increased approximately 150% in the last decade. As a result, life sciences companies demand a patient matching and enrollment platform that can help them better manage the patient’s journey into a clinical trial while optimizing enrollment outcomes. With Trialbee and Castor’s proven integrations, clinical trial sponsors can seamlessly manage all clinical trial touchpoints while ensuring data quality every step of the way.
“Over 70 percent of potential clinical trial participants live more than two hours away from a trial site, increasing the need for greater scale and reach in patient awareness for today’s trial designs,” said Matt Walz, Chief Executive Officer at Trialbee. “Through our combined capabilities, clinical trials can deploy an end-to-end solution to simplify the patient journey, including early introductions to clinical trials, enrollment performance analytics, and remote data capture for decentralized clinical trials.”
