Clinical trial sponsors are constantly seeking ways to accelerate study timelines, thereby more rapidly delivering therapeutics to patients and optimizing return on R&D investment. Accelerating clinical trials means acquiring high-quality data faster. It means developing protocols, configuring technology, activating research sites, recruiting patients, and more as quickly as possible without compromising quality or safety.

Modern technology promises speed and efficiency, but technology setup and adoption remain a hurdle.

In pursuit of acceleration, the clinical trial industry is undergoing a significant digital transformation as it embraces remote technology and hybrid trial designs (studies that supplement a traditional site-based approach with some decentralized components). Decentralized components can accelerate every stage of a trial while improving patient retention and adherence. These components include digital screening, televisits, electronic clinical outcome assessments (eCOA), data collection through connected devices, medication adherence, and more–all accessible at a patient’s convenience on mobile devices.

Despite advancements in technology, the industry faces hurdles in adopting and effectively utilizing new tools. Technology setup and training remain burdensome, highlighting the need for intuitive and easy-to-use platforms. In light of these challenges, Pattern’s platform is uniquely positioned to address the evolving needs of the clinical trial industry. Pattern offers a range of features designed to streamline trial setup and management, ensuring efficiency and ease of use for both study teams and participants.

 

 

How Pattern Health Streamlines Study Setup & Accelerates Trials

Pattern’s Clinical Trial Solution provides sponsors and CROs with a seamless and efficient solution for modern clinical trials, including support for DCT and hybrid studies of any scale. The purpose-built platform makes it easy to create engaging patient experiences that improve trial participation and efficiency while reducing burden for everyone involved.

Here are specific ways that Pattern’s technology and supporting services support and accelerate trials:

No-Code Configuration: No-code tools and automation capabilities expedite study setup, significantly reducing the time from concept to initiation. Pattern supports both self-serve and managed-service options, accommodating the needs of each study and organization.

eCOA & Content Libraries: Pattern offers a library of pre-built and approved eCOAs that are ready for use as well as support for sponsor or CRO-specific libraries that improve timelines for those conducting multiple studies on the platform. Our platform includes a cascading, permission-based architecture that streamlines the management and control of eCOA libraries and content assets.

Robust Patient Engagement Features: The benefits of incorporating digital patient experiences in clinical trial protocols are only realized if patients remain engaged and adherent. This is where Pattern really shines. Their intuitive consumer-grade interfaces, notifications & reminders, journals, and more give any study a boost.

Interoperability: The ability to seamlessly connect with existing EDC, EHR, CTMS, and other systems enables cohesive data management and operational efficiency.

Multi-Tenant Software Model: This approach allows for rapid configuration, avoiding the need to start each study from scratch, unlike some popular competitors.

User-Friendly Interfaces for Study Teams and Sites: Pattern’s Study Manager is straightforward and easy to use, streamlining the onboarding process for multi-site studies.

Localization Support: Pattern’s multi-language support makes it easy to deploy patient experiences that are localized to each geography’s language or dialect.

Global Data Hosting Compliance: Pattern can support the hosting and residency requirements for regions around the world, enabling global scale for late-stage trials.
