As a digital Contract Research Organization (CRO), we run decentralized virtual trials for CPG brands, supporting them throughout the entire clinical trial process. From assisting with study protocol development to managing recruitment and engagement efforts, we ensure seamless execution.
Additionally, we help organize study results into marketable science-backed claims, offering comprehensive support for all stages of clinical research.
What is a Contract Research Organization?
A decentralized CRO (Contract Research Organization) is a company that conducts clinical trials and research remotely, utilizing virtual tools and technologies.
Instead of relying on traditional, centralized trial sites, decentralized CROs manage studies through digital platforms, allowing participants to engage from their own homes or local settings.
This approach increases accessibility, accelerates recruitment, and improves participant retention, all while providing real-time data and reducing the costs associated with on-site trials.
What is the benefit for patients?
Participants in decentralized clinical trials with a CRO benefit from greater flexibility and convenience, as they can take part from the comfort of their own homes. This approach reduces the need for travel, making it easier to incorporate study participation into their daily routines.
Remote CROs also enhance accessibility, allowing people from diverse locations to take part in studies that may not be available locally. Additionally, remote trials often provide quicker and more direct communication with study teams, ensuring better support and a smoother overall experience for participants.
What is the benefit for Brands?
DigitalCROs offer researchers the ability to tap into a much broader and more diverse patient pool by expanding participant recruitment beyond local or national boundaries. Your brand’s research can reach participants globally, increasing diversity and making your studies more accessible to those in remote or less populated areas. Additionally, virtual trials often result in higher data quality, as mobile reporting and wearable devices can capture and transmit real-time data, minimizing manual entry errors.
By streamlining study design and speeding up enrollment, virtual CROs help reduce study costs. They eliminate the need for multiple research sites, extensive staffing, and storage, significantly cutting overhead expenses and lowering investigator grant payments.
