Description

Financial workflows in clinical trials involve several parties in various countries, tax and currency regions. All parties

involved have to deal with many manual tasks, diverse data sources and non-standardized processes. This causes time-consuming, error-prone and inefficient processes that have a negative impact on the overall study success. The main reason for investigator churn and discontent in clinical trials is directly related to burdensome administrative tasks. This deters study personnel from their core activities and may cause unnecessary study delays.



A German SME provides a cloud-based solution for the financial management of clinical trials. Its technology automates payments to study sites, research participants and enables data-driven insights into global trial budgets. The company helps sponsors, CROs (clinical research organisation) and sites to accelerate trial operations.



To fully streamline operational workflows the solution is ready to be integrated with other clinical trial software solutions including eCRF (electronic case report form) and CTMS (clinical trial management system).



The German company provides resources and know-how to guide its clients towards digitizing processes and creating an integrated IT environment to deliver maximum value.



Data privacy lies at the heart of the German company. All critical data is stored and processed on servers in the European Union.

Apart from the above described, the SME helps their clients to address challenges related to international tax and financial regulation in clinical trials through their consulting services.

Requested partner

They are looking for three types of partners and types of partnership:

1. Clients for their existing services: e.g. a study sponsor, CRO or study site which think that their clinical trials can benefit from a smarter site payment process. The German company offers to set-up a free system demo to evaluate how a client can benefit from its services. This could be realised in form of a license agreement.



2. Partners for co-development activities: for those who have ideas for improving trial processes but lack the technical resources. They could get involved in co-development projects by sharing their industry know-how and developing new projects together. The type of partnership sought in this case would be research cooperation agreement.



3. a technology provider for clinical trials (e.g. eCRF / EDC = Electronic Data Capture), CTMS systems or related fields who think that services are complementary and their mutual clients can benefit from better interoperability between their services in order to leverage individual strengths. Here a strategic technical cooperation agreement is envisaged.
