Innovation and patient centricity: the beating heart of a successful global partnership

At Woodley Trial Solutions, innovation and patient centricity have always been central to our approach. More than three decades after supplying our first clinical trial, we’re undeniably proud that those characteristics have been part of our DNA since the very beginning. For the last 15 years, they’ve also been the defining traits of an enduring partnership between ourselves and mobile research experts PCM Trials. 

A comprehensive track record of innovation

Since its inception in 2008, PCM Trials has been a leader in providing mobile research nurse visits in decentralised clinical trials (DCTs). Its embrace of constant innovation has enabled it to push to the forefront of patient-centred DCTs, expanding opportunities for research participation and giving individuals the flexibility to engage in research studies in the ways that work best for them.

At the same time, our commitment to developing and delivering the best possible services and solutions has enabled Woodley Trial Solutions to build a remarkable level of trust across an international network of CROs and decentralised clinical trial vendors.

• On a product level, CROs know that our supply of hi-tech connected devices and other medical equipment featuring the very latest technology means they will always be operating with maximum efficiency and speed. For CROs and DCT specialists, this access to cutting-edge, reliable, and fully calibrated equipment is a crucial part of reaching a complete data set on time or even ahead of schedule.

• All our equipment and devices are supplied through a global logistics system that has been refined over several decades to ensure timely deliveries can be made anywhere in the world. Our expertise and knowledge work in tandem with real-time internal data systems to keep either CROs or partners like PCM Trials fully informed about all schedules. Our EU office, for example, works closely with PCM Trials’ newly acquired logistics hub in Losser, Netherlands to support our clients’ global equipment needs.

• PCM Trials’ model of directly employing and managing the certified mobile research nurses (CMRNs) that gather DCT data has been proven to help CROs recruit trials faster, retain more patients as the trial progresses, and keep patients more compliant to the regimens determined in a protocol. This allows the high-quality delivery of services in a home environment that supports a DCT model rivalling that of traditional site-based models. But none of this is possible without safeguarding any gathered data through adequate investments in compliant data handling, which is why Woodley Trial Solutions has extensive agreements with third-party data companies to seamlessly supply patient data from product to CRO.

• Finally, extensive assistance via Woodley Trial Solutions’ online product training and video user guides couples with guaranteed 24/7 tech support to enable CROs or DCT specialists to operate with ongoing confidence and peace of mind. They know without doubt we are always in their corner and ready to respond in the rare instances in which they might need specific product help.
