Clinical Trials in Plain English: TrialAssure Translates for Patients
Summary
Software is playing a growing role in clinical trials, and over the years it’s been introduced as a tool to help enroll patients, collect data, and analyze results. Zach Weingarden, TrialAssure’s product solutions manager, says the online portal allows clinical trial participants to read lay summaries of the trial’s results in English, or whatever their native language is. “That’s where TrialResults fits an unmet need,” Weingarden says, noting that some clinical studies take years to complete, making it harder to track patients down when it’s time to deliver a summary. Having one document uploaded for everybody to read makes the logistical challenge easier.” Sponsors pay TrialAssure a subscription fee to post summaries, but patients can access them free of charge. TrialAssure’s ultimate goal, Weingarden continues, is to create a collaborative platform and rich repository of information that people can search by condition, date, geography, or other parameters.
