Drug development takes too long. It can take 10 years1 to bring a drug to market and make its way through to the patients who need it. The challenges are multifactorial and can’t be addressed with point solutions.
Routine data has the potential to transform research by tapping into critical insights from the 95% of patients not in trials. However, current real-world data (RWD) are suboptimal for drug development – opportunistically generated, incomplete, and retrospective. This limits comparisons with prospective clinical trials, even with AI, due to inconsistent and poor-quality source data.
Contemporary, standardized data is essential to inform clinical trial design, execution and interpretation and development decision-making.
N-Power Medicine’s purpose-built clinical trial platform empowers practices and biopharma companies with comprehensive solutions that increase research capacity and the availability of standardized routine care data for use in oncology drug development.
The N-Power Platform accelerates drug development through standardized data collection, innovative technology, and expert staffing support.
Addressing the Challenges to Make Clinical Trials a Reality for More Clinicians and Patients
2 are enrolled in clinical trials and there is a lack of diversity in participants.
The expanding drug pipeline strains resources at high-performing sites while oncologists’ heavy administrative burdens across practices limit their research involvement.
Because the number of drugs in development is expanding exponentially, access to clinical trials needs to expand as well.
Expensive infrastructure and burdensome processes have limited clinical trial adoption for most oncology centers.
Routine-care data is not standardized and is difficult to use for clinical research1, leading to inefficient patient enrollment and reducing overall confidence in decision-making.
