The healthcare system evolves every day.

But access to life-saving clinical trials is still a challenge.

Challenges of the current clinical trials ecosystem

It’s hard for patients to find active clinical trials they’re eligible for and it’s hard to address Diversity, Equity & Inclusion needs.

With the emergence of precision medicine, eligibility criteria are becoming increasingly narrow and are usually unstructured.

In addition to this, not all of the details necessary for considering participation are part of the original protocol.

So even when a patient finds a clinical trial, the language is  technical and hard to understand.

THE SOLUTION

An open, non-competitive repository of clinical protocols that are enriched with additional structure and information so that better matches can be made between patients and providers of clinical trials.

As an industry, we have to be able to come together to share information so that we can identify the right patients for recruiting trials, meet enrollment goals and ultimately make new treatments available faster.
