Medable enables >90% eCOA adherence in vaccine trial
A leading biotech company came to Medable looking to conduct a vaccine trial. They were concerned that their trial’s participant population of persons aged 50+ years may be hesitant to use the sponsors’ chosen eCOAtrial technology, would not be engaged in the study, and therefore may not provide consistent trial data.
Learn how we drove success for them, including >90% eCOA adherence.
Medable’s Patient Caregiver Network improves post-seizure trial data
A pharmaceutical contract research organization (CRO) expressed concerns about the timing and availability of seizure diaries for patients enrolled in their rare disease study.
They wanted to understand when patients should be prompted to complete the diaries and how they could improve the process to better accommodate caregivers' and patients' needs to produce better trial data.
Back to basics: What are electronic clinical outcome assessments (COAs/eCOAs)?
COAs (called eCOAs when captured electronically) are essential to understanding whether a drug is reducing symptoms, improving patients’ quality of life, and improving patients’ ability to perform activities they care about. COAs enable a well-rounded understanding of how a drug is working, its side effects, its impact on patients’ lives, and more. Perhaps most notably, PROs/ePROs allow for the patient’s voice to be heard. Capturing the patient’s voice is particularly important because the clinician may not always see or express the patient’s experience in the same way.
