Rapid evolution: Clinical trials have gone digital
DCT and digital elementsare now the new normal. But what exactly does "digital" or "decentralized" mean in the context of clinical trials?
A panel of industry experts from Sanofi, Bayer, and the Clinical Trials Transformation Initiative (CTTI) recently came together to discuss the evolution of DCTs and share their experiences.
Efficient & empathetic: New Duke research shows the real power of eConsent
With the eConsent market expected to continue its ascent over the next ten years, it’s apparent to those who have used it that the “e” in eConsent stands for much more than electronic.
Analysis and real-world examples show that it can be efficient, educational, and empathetic, leading to better participant education, reduced participant dropout, lower administrative burden for sites, reduced audit findings, and more.

Explore Medable Studio
A decade ago, our founders’ experiences in clinical research and life sciences drove them to create Medable, a simple cloud-based platform that could improve theconduct of trials. Over the last ten years, we’ve conducted nearly 400 trials on our platform, continually refining it to provide a better experience for sites, patients, and caregivers.Today, we’re excited to announce that our customers are entering a new era of control, ease of use, and simplicity.
Use Case: Integrating consent data to reduce administrative burden
A top-10 pharmaceutical company was looking to reduce the amount of administrative burden on their clinical trial sites and themselves.
The sponsor sought to find a vendor that could use one eConsent system to manage paper and electronic consent.
Additionally, they sought to use the central eConsent system to populate the clinical trial sites’ IRB and EDC systems, as well as some internal systems.
Medable platform delivers >90% eCOA adherence and scalability
A top-10 American pharmaceutical company came to Medable looking to conduct an extensive weight management master protocol clinical trial with multiple sub-studies across 70+ research sites. The client was concerned about the participant experience, as the trial required participants to enroll through the master protocol before enrolling into a sub-study. Additionally, they wanted to reuse and scale the solution for future trials without compromising the site and patient experience.
Learn how Medable was able to accomplish this and more.
Use case: How a top-10 pharma digitized and standardized participant pain body maps
A top-10 pharmaceutical company was looking to standardize the conduct of their diabetic polyneuropathy trials for future use.
Specifically, the client was looking to digitize their paper “body map” forms. These are used by participants to indicate the severity of pain on their bodies.
Traditionally administered on paper, body map assessments had been a source of potential inefficiencies and errors.
The client’s goal was to co-create and own their body maps, while simplifying and streamlining the process for future trials.
Evidence & Insights: A Data-Driven Exploration of Decentralized Elements and Digital Trial Technologies
In Medable’s first edition of Evidence and Insights, you’ll get an in-depth look at our research investments and collaborations exploring the effects of DCTs and clinical research technology. Through strategic partnerships and continued investment, we’ve spearheaded efforts that redefine industry standards and set a new precedent for the evidentiary basis of technology’s impact on drug development.
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.
U.S. Renal Care achieves 75% site adoption of eConsent with Medable
Medable’s Total Consent, used by U.S. Renal Care in top ten pharma-sponsored study, proved to be a flexible, fast, and efficient solution for the elderly renal care population.
Technology overload: Addressing site challenges in clinical research
In the early 2000s, a new era of clinical research began – the digital era. As large sponsors and CROs like IQVIA andGlaxo Smith Kline began implementing electronic data capture (EDC) systems into their trials, clinical trial sites experienced the first major digital disruption in how they conducted clinical research. Fast forward totoday, and this cycle of disruption not only continues, it’s shortened.
As a recent article by BusinessInsider states, “it took 30 years forelectricity to be adopted by 10% ofUS consumers. It took 25 years for the telephone to achieve the same penetration. Tablets achieved thisreach in just five years – and they’re not even our primary devices." This shortened cycle of mass adoption has brought smartphones,smartwatches, tablets, and moreto trials, as well as new software and portal applications like eCOA and eConsent. However, it’s been reported that too much technology is commonplace and it quickly overwhelms.
In this white paper, we’ll examine best practices in ensuring sites are adequately prepared and supported for new trial technologies,derived from the experiences of key individuals with direct experience from pharma, technology vendors and importantly from sites themselves.
Quality by Design: Better data using participant insights
Quality is not an afterthought within clinical trials. Instead, it is a required and integral part of the entire process beginning at the start of protocol design. While clinical trials will always encounter challenges in driving quality experiences and data, there exists one approach that’s backed by regulatory agencies and proven to lead to better outcomes.
This is a “quality by design” strategy that’s informed and driven by all stakeholders, including those most affected by your trial’s protocols - your participants, and sites.
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.
Medable platform speeds diabetes study startup by 50%
A top 10 pharmaceutical company approached Medable seeking support for their Phase III diabetes study in the highly competitive weight loss market. Their primary goal was toreduce the client’s average study build timelines from 16-20 weeks, down to just 8 weeks,a reduction of more than 50%.
See how Medable was able to meet the customer's goal with this case study.
