Leading patient engagement and mobile care management solution and precision oncology CRO partner to revolutionize patient engagement in clinical trials
Scottsdale, AZ and Seattle, WA – April 20, 2015 — TD2, the precision oncology CRO, and Navigating Cancer, the leading web-based patient care and engagement solution for oncology clinics, today announced a partnership to improve the engagement of patients in clinical trials and bring patient-reported outcomes to the clinical trials process.
The integration with Navigating Cancer’s mobile care management solution will allow patients participating in TD2-managed clinical trials to record adherence and report how they are feeling in real time through a simple-to-use mobile application. This information will be provided to TD2’s participating oncology trial sites to enhance the care of patients enrolled in clinical studies. This access to patient-reported experiences on emerging therapies will provide biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies with new insights that could be used to improve trial designs, develop unique clinical trial endpoints and add value in reimbursement decisions.
“Real-time patient reported data using Navigating Cancer’s mobile solution is an important component of the TD2 clinical trial process,” said TD2 CEO Stephen Gately, Ph.D. “ This data will be used to support more efficient patient-focused clinical trial designs, and to potentially identify regulatory opportunities for new medicines that improve patient symptoms and functional abilities.”
“As a company dedicated to improving health outcomes through patient engagement, we believe that providing patients in clinical trials with a convenient, mobile means of reporting their own experiences on an investigative therapy in real time will be a game-changer for patient-centered drug development.” said Gena Cook, CEO of Navigating Cancer. “We are excited to partner with TD2 to ensure that patient’s experiences are reflected in health outcomes.”
