Challenges of Clinical Trial Matching

Healthcare organizations often rely on manual methods to sift through vast amounts of patient data to find the most cutting-edge and relevant clinical trials. This process involves reviewing medical records and matching patient profiles against trial eligibility criteria. The cumbersome nature of this task means that it can take significant time to identify appropriate trials, and crucial opportunities for patient enrollment may be missed. Research shows that around 80% of clinical trials fail to meet their enrollment targets and timelines, leading to substantial costs and delays in patient access to urgent treatments and drug development.

Introducing Lifebit’s Patient Management

Lifebit’s Patient Management Module addresses these challenges by providing a systematic approach to clinical trial matching. Our platform offers easy-to-use tools for searching and filtering, enabling clinicians and clinical researchers to safely and efficiently explore a patient’s genetic data and identify possible therapy and trial matches using independent databases, such as ClinicalTrials.gov.

Key features for efficient clinical trial matching

• Comprehensive data integration: Securely and safely integrate clinical records, genomic data, and other patient information into a single platform, ensuring all relevant data is accessible for trial matching.

• AI-powered analytics: Use advanced AI algorithms to process and interpret large datasets quickly and accurately, providing actionable insights for clinicians.

• Seamless EHR integration: Smooth integration with Electronic Health Record (EHR) systems such as EPIC and Cerner ensures genomic insights are embedded into clinical workflows.

• User-friendly interface: Designed with clinicians in mind, featuring an intuitive, no-code interface that simplifies the process of data analysis and trial matching.

Benefits to clinical research

Implementing Lifebit’s Patient Management Module for clinical trial matching delivers:

1. Greater visibility and efficiency in clinical trials: Lifebit’s solution enables clinicians to quickly identify and pre-fill clinical trial criteria. This capability allows for on-demand queries, such as determining the number of patients who meet specific trial criteria within seconds, significantly reducing the time required to match patients to trials.

2. Increased access to patients: The powerful querying ability of Lifebit’s platform not only enhances trial matching efficiency but also attracts more pharmaceutical companies. This expanded access opens up opportunities for patients to participate in experimental drug trials that they might not have had access to otherwise. 

3. Improved efficiency in trial matching: The platform's AI capabilities enable faster and more accurate identification of suitable trials, reducing the time clinicians spend on manual data review.

4. Enhanced patient enrollment: Increased efficiency in matching patients to trials helps meet enrollment targets and timelines, ultimately accelerating the availability of new treatments.

5. Increased access to experimental treatments: By attracting more pharmaceutical companies, Lifebit’s platform provides patients with opportunities to participate in a wider range of clinical trials, offering access to the latest experimental therapies.
