Anju Software  
TA Scan v1.7.8.3 | Booth 40 
https://www.anjusoftware.com/ta-scan-data-science/ 

Brief Description of Problem Addressed by Product:  
Poor recruitment to clinical trials is a long-standing and global problem. Nearly 80% of clinical trials fail to meet their enrollment timelines, 11% of selected sites never enroll a single patient, and 48% of all sites under perform, meaning that they do not deliver the number of patients they expect. Additionally, sponsors’ original timelines for Phase 2 – 3 studies usually end up doubling to meet the required enrollment target.  To drive predictability in enrollment and study timelines, sponsors rely on their study feasibility teams. Faulty enrollment forecasts, however, cause sponsors to embark on trials with a false sense of what they can accomplish in a certain time frame. Any deviation from the forecast and delays in study timelines has a significant negative effect on study costs.  Teams need to understand the competitive landscape for the target patient subpopulation, identify the optimal mix of countries, sites and investigators for a specific study, and set realistic timeline scan help match reality with expectation to avoid unnecessary delays and amendments throughout the clinical trial. To minimize the risk during strategic planning and clinical trial execution, and maximize the accuracy of enrollment forecasts, a team’s expertise and experience with past clinical trials is crucial, and historical public data provides critical insights on trial benchmarks and the continuously evolving competitive landscape. The dispersed nature of data and the need to combine internal and external insights, adds significant complexity to the process and hinders the generation of meaningful and especially accurate insights.

Brief Description of Problem Addressed by Product:  
The limited capacity of the traditional clinical research model has not kept up with the rapid pace of discoveries from medical science, thereby leaving too many potential cures and treatments untested and unusable for people who might need them. As a result, people who could benefit from these potentially life-saving therapeutics are left waiting. Challenges in study enrollment are the most commonly cited reason for this bottleneck in clinical research. 

Brief Product Description & Technical Specifications: 
Future of Medicine by Care Access is a grassroots community health screening program that significantly accelerates enrollment of research studies while providing valuable health insights, education, and services to individuals and whole communities. Our study-agnostic health screenings (pre-screenings) create a participant community that is more aware of their health status and educated about the importance of clinical research and its potential impact for future generations. In the last year, over 100,000 people have been screened in the program—individuals who have shared their medical history, completed a blood draw, given informed consent, and expressed interest in participating in research. Future of Medicine health screenings include biomarker testing for risk factors where high-priority research is happening, such as cardiometabolic diseases, Alzheimer’s, infectious diseases, and more. By screening participants for specific eligibility criteria, the program significantly reduces screen failures. Our pre-screenings can start many months before a study is activated, allowing sites to begin randomizing participants on day one of the study versus months later through more traditional practices. By decoupling screening and enrollment, Future of Medicine enables ongoing recruitment across entire portfolios, independent of individual study timelines.

Citeline
Citeline SmartSolutions | Booth 14
https://www.citeline.com/en/smartsolutions

Brief Description of Problem Addressed by Product:

Protocol amendments are a significant financial burden, often caused by avoidable issues such as overly restrictive language, failure to consider the patient population — including diverse groups— insufficient input from operational teams, and errors made during protocol iterations. Medical teams need access to high-quality data from past trials to design protocols that minimize these operational errors and limit amendments. On the operational side, teams must thoroughly review protocols to assess the feasibility of conducting the study, taking into account factors such as patient population, site capabilities, and logistical requirements. Selecting the right investigators who are best suited to your protocol is another critical challenge. Investigators need to have the appropriate expertise, access to the relevant patient population, and a track record of success to ensure the study can be executed smoothly. Misalignment in this area can lead to recruitment delays and protocol amendments, further increasing costs. As protocols grow increasingly complex, the number of amendments rises, leading to costly delays. Each day of delay can result in approximately $500,000 in unrealized or lost prescription drug sales and $40,000 in direct clinical trial costs, making it imperative to develop better protocols that reduce the risk of amendments.

Greenphire  
Greenphire Patient Support -Travel + Logistics // Concierge | Booth 33 
https://greenphire.com/ 

Brief Description of Problem Addressed by Product:  
While much attention as of late has been focused on enabling remote / hybrid trials, getting to and from physical clinical trial sites remains a barrier and potential deterrent to trial participation. Confirmed in the 2023 CISCRP Perceptions and Insights Study, logistical factors were cited as being the most disruptive aspect of clinical trial participation. This can include logistical but also financial challenges, which can differ from participant to participant. In addition to patient burden, research sites also feel the weight of patient travel as they are often responsible for making arrangements – whether car rides, air travel and rail or even hotels and passport and visa support. These administrative obstacles are difficult to manage and can distract from and hinder the research itself. Through traditional methods, which require either participants getting themselves to the clinic via their own means or sites making arrangements on their behalf, it is challenging for sponsors and CROs to deliver a consistent and scalable patient and site experience. The core goal of our solutions and services is to simplify and standardize the management of participant logistics – eliminating the financial and emotional burdens for participants and removing the administrative headache for sites while giving sponsors greater financial control and transparency. 

Brief Product Description & Technical Specifications: 
We understand the complexity and global nature of clinical trials and how that impacts the ability of a patient to participate in a study and a site to provide patient care and conduct research. As such, over our 16+ years of experience supporting the industry, we have established a global travel & logistics service for sponsors and CROs to enable their studies to remove the onus and burden for participants and sites. Our legacy offering, which has been incredibly well received by sites and participants around the world, is made up of a global network of localized travel agents. In the past year, we have bolstered our service to be even more robust by introducing an additional layer of support. With the acquisition of Clincierge, a clinical trial logistics company, we have coupled our global network of travel agents with expert in-region Concierge Coordinators (90+ Coordinators across 40+ countries). What does this mean? It means that not only are all travel bookings handled but in the ‘Concierge’ model, participants are assigned a Concierge Coordinator who serves as their single, local language and regional point of contact for the study – facilitating communication with the research site, reviewing, approving and prepping all travel arrangements (car rides, flights, hotels/apartments, online ordering, documentation support, etc.), collecting and submitting receipts for reimbursement, keeping track of study visits / requirements and more. 

Brief Description of Innovative Technology: 
In tandem with our concierge service, we have developed a new robust travel portal. This serves as a central location where sites, Concierge Coordinators and travel agents can interact. Sites and/or Concierge Coordinators can easily enter details about visit and participant requirements and travel agents can view requests in order to complete the necessary bookings. All details and required actions are captured and clearly documented within the portal, ensuring all parties who are supporting the participant can stay on top of their tasks and maintain a view into status. In addition to the travel portal, our GreenSpace mobile and web app serves as the participant’s single location to view study details. This includes financials (reimbursements, balance, receipt submissions, etc.), travel information (e.g., car ride status tracking) and study-related insights. Overall, our new combined concierge solutions and services ensure a seamless experience across all stakeholders from sites, Concierge Coordinators and travel agents to patients and caregivers – driving enhanced site satisfaction and improved participant engagement and retention. In all, Greenphire is committed to investing in the areas global sponsors need - from our flagship patient payments solution - ClinCard, to our expanded travel and logistics program, offering a one-stop-shop to enable a consistent and robust vision for improving the patient experience and reducing drop out, and more effective and efficient clinical trials.

https://mytomorrows.com/ 

Brief Description of Problem Addressed by Product:  
Physicians face a significant challenge in finding appropriate clinical trials for their patients. Public registries, like clinicaltrials.gov, are cumbersome and often require a substantial investment of time to sift through complex eligibility criteria and navigate dense databases. In particular, this process is a hindrance for physicians when searching for possible treatments. As a stakeholder that has limited time, a process which is so time-consuming can be a significant barrier. The knock-on effect is that all patients may not be presented with all possible treatment options. Furthermore, trial sites and BioPharma clinical studies struggle to meet referral and enrollment goals - in fact, 80% of clinical trials globally fail to meet their enrollment goals1. There is a domino effect felt across all stakeholders within the pre-approval ecosystem (see source). myTomorrows addresses these issues by simplifying clinical trial searches, eligibility pre-screening, and direct communication with trial sites, ultimately enhancing trial accessibility and efficiency for physicians, research teams and patients.
