Biotech, Inc.’s EXPERIENCE IN THE PAST FIVE YEARS

ACCESS TO PATIENTS THAT LAUNCHES YOUR STUDY FASTER


Biotech, Inc. owns the a large patient database of fully identified and opted-in patients, plus a global network of 180+ dedicated research sites worldwide.

Because we know the patients and we own the sites, we can accurately forecast and offer patient enrollment and budget certainty. This virtually eliminates the usual uncertainty surrounding patient numbers, site performance, enrollment timelines and costs. Moreover, it allows us to launch your study faster, with quality patients, using fewer sites that perform at maximum capacity.

CONNECTING WITH IBD PATIENTS WITH COLO FLARE


IBD studies are extremely competitive, and Biotech, Inc. offers our customers a competitive edge. Through IBDConnect, we bring your IBD study directly to patients at their own GI physician’s office instead of solely relying on active research sites to source patients.

And with our COLO Flare app, pre-screened patients can quickly report IBD flares and other study-specific criteria via an app, to their local site, so they can be immediately screened for your study. Patients remain engaged until flare symptoms emerge, and then they’re directed to their site coordinator to discuss study participation.

 

CLEAR, ACCURATE BIOPSY RESULTS FOR NAFLD AND NASH

Because clear, accurate biopsy results are critical for your study, we provide each site with standardized biopsy collection and slide preparation procedures. We coordinate patients’ schedules, submitting samples to the central reviewer or pathologist, and results reporting.

NASH EXPERTISE


To better understand the NAFLD and NASH patient population, our AES team surveyed 441 adults with fatty liver disease, hypertension, high cholesterol, type 2 diabetes and obesity about their conditions and their perceptions toward clinical trial participation. The results formed the basis of our recruitment strategies, enabling us to target and identify the most qualified patients closest to study sites.

  • Deep understanding of medical and regulatory requirements
  • Ability to provide consultation on all aspects of the study
  • Strong site relationships and experience with fast-enrolling sites
  • Proven rapid startup with known NASH sites
  • Refined patient pathway for efficient diagnosis process, ensuring maximum patient reach
  • Experience with novel imaging techniques and manage liver biopsies
