QUOTES FROM SOURCE:
1. “As mentioned earlier, COVID-19 has dramatically increased pharma’s desire to conduct trials away from traditional sites; the FDA refers to these as “decentralized clinical trials.””
2. “This decentralization eliminates the need for patients to come to a specific clinical trial site, resulting in many benefits.”
3. “Asset Management Ventures (AMV) portfolio company Freenome, for example, has a major CRO setting up clinical trial sites for them in their 14,000-person colorectal-screening trial, named PREEMPT CRC.”
4. “To ensure diversity and broad access to much-needed cancer-screening procedures, the company is also setting up their own sites and using Science 37 to administer decentralized trials at a patient’s local clinic or hospital.”
5. “The teams use the SaaS platform StudyTeam from Reify Health (an AMV portfolio company) to manage patient recruitment for the decentralized trial in one place and streamline communication between the teams on the ground and the pharma sponsor, Eli Lilly.”
