How a fully connected trial platform delivered 2× faster recruitment in a Phase III COPD study

A large-scale COPD outcome study reached the fastest recruitment on record for the sponsor, alongside a stronger patient experience and a lower cost per patient.
THE PROBLEM

The limitations of traditional clinical trials of COPD

CHALLENGE

Traditional COPD studies place a heavy burden on patients and sites

COPD outcome studies typically require large patient populations, making recruitment a persistent challenge.
Frequent in-person visits are difficult for patients already managing low energy, adding to the challenge of recruitment and retention.
Without real-time visibility between visits, site teams often don't learn about a patient event until the next scheduled appointment.
SOLUTION

A unified platform connecting patients and sites in real time

A single app for patients and a single sign-on portal for sites.
Majority of visits were completed from home.
Event-driven notifications flagged patient activity to sites as it happened.
Patient-reported outcomes and in-platform visit scheduling.
