digital trial recruitment

A recently published analysis of eight digital studies found a median dropoff of 5.5 days, as well as a predominantly young and white pool of participants.

Pharma companies have been eying digital health with interest, and the first quarter of 2018 was no exception.

During an earnings call yesterday, executives of the clinical trial technology company Medidata heralded a digital shift in novel drug investigations, announcing that the company’s virtual trial platform, Engage, will now be offered as part of its Clinical Cloud product, and that a virtual trial powered by the company’s technology and recruiting an estimated 15,000 or more participants is now underway.
