Developments are the latest in Oracle's
commitment to bridge the gap between clinical research and
patient care to help speed the development of and access to
breakthrough treatments
NASHVILLE, Tenn.,
Oct. 29,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Oracle Health Summit --
To help life sciences organizations accelerate and reduce the cost
and complexity of clinical trials so they can get lifesaving
treatments to market faster, Oracle Life Sciences today announced
Oracle Site Feasibility and Oracle Patient Recruitment Cloud
Services. Running on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI), the new
Oracle Life Sciences services benefit from best-in-class security
and trust in handling and storing Protected Health Information in
compliance with HIPAA regulations. In addition, OCI's high
performance and availability mean these new solutions, coupled with
Oracle's Real World Data assets and life science and clinical
applications, help pharmaceutical companies, CROs and researchers
to select clinical trial sites and recruit patients more
quickly.
"Patient recruitment is the cornerstone of any clinical trial,
but identifying the right sites and recruiting the right patients
at scale is difficult, time-consuming, and costly," said
Seema Verma, executive vice
president and general manager, Oracle Health and Life Sciences.
"Our new site feasibility and patient recruitment cloud services
are an example of how Oracle's extensive expertise in life sciences
and healthcare are bridging the gap between clinical research and
patient care. We can provide insights based on our secure,
authorized, and vast Electronic Health Record data that helps
sponsors and CROs to intelligently select clinical trial sites and
enable site study teams to identify and enroll qualified patients
more efficiently and effectively."
According to Deloitte research1, patient recruitment
accounts for 32% of clinical trial costs, making it the largest
expense in the process. Additionally, $1.9
billion is spent on recruitment annually,2 even
though 72% of trial participants are already patients at a site.
Oracle Site Feasibility and Oracle Patient Recruitment can help
life sciences organizations overcome these challenges and
dramatically reduce the cost of running clinical trials.
Through the existing Study Startup solution and Oracle's
extensive deidentified Electronic Health Record (EHR) data from
participating healthcare systems, Oracle Site
Feasibility Cloud Service enables life sciences organizations
to quickly and easily identify the most advantageous sites for
their clinical trials. Within activated clinical trial sites,
Oracle Patient Recruitment Cloud Service can increase enrollment
efficiency by informing authorized study teams of identified
patients within their health system who could potentially meet
trial criteria based on their clinical profile.
Activate sites faster and accelerate study timelines
With Oracle Site Feasibility, life science organizations can
accelerate the site-selection process and have more visibility into
untapped sites. The new service enables life science organizations
to more quickly find viable clinical trial site locations by
surfacing trial-specific eligible and partially eligible patients
from participating healthcare facilities. This solution uses
Oracle's deidentified EHR clinical data to run feasibility queries
across patient records, analyzing key data points, such as past
site performance and qualified patients per site. This data
granularity helps life science organizations to intelligently
select sites with the highest volume of potential eligible
patients.
Recruit the right patients more quickly
Oracle Patient Recruitment is available globally for life
sciences customers to help activate sites faster and provide deeper
patient insights to help study teams be more aware of any retention
or dropout risks and recruit the right patients for the trial. It
uses Health Data Intelligence (HDI) as its underlying technology
infrastructure to surface data directly from the EHR and identify
eligible and partially eligible patients for potential trial
participation.
Oracle Patient Recruitment calculates an eligibility score for
qualified patients and provides important insights to the study
team about why a patient qualifies for a trial or where they may
fall short. This level of detail lets study teams quickly
identify what next steps should be taken with the trial candidate
and eliminates time wasted searching for additional context in the
medical record. Oracle Patient Recruitment also incorporates health
system registration and scheduling data, giving study teams
visibility to upcoming and past appointment details. Using
these additional insights, the study team can customize a visit
schedule based on the patient's unique situation to help ensure the
patient does not drop out – another step in putting the patient's
care first.
