Worldwide Clinical Trials has signed up with Trialbee to help boost trial recruitment by tapping its matchmaking service.
Under the pact, financials of which were not made public, the pair will “combine global trial infrastructure, therapeutic expertise, and proven recruitment capabilities with innovative technology, real-world data, and nurse call center qualification,” according to a statement.
The CRO will use the so-called Trialbee Hive platform, which has access to real-world data and data science to match the most appropriate study participants while “ensuring proper population representation.”
Once matched, interested patients are prequalified by an online process followed by a video- or phone-based interview through Trialbee’s nurse call center.
