Clinical

eCOA

Electronic clinical outcome assessments, purpose-built for the indication, delivered by a therapeutic-area team with the trial service around them.

Diaries, patient-reported outcomes and performance measures, designed per indication by people who work in the therapeutic area. They run on Amma, our trial platform.

Dashboards are populated for sites, CROs and sponsors as the data arrives, so a missed entry can be chased straight away.

Instruments are built per indication rather than per therapeutic area. The design method is the same whether the endpoint is a seizure count, a symptom score or a performance measure, and it is the method that moves between areas.

Today the depth sits in rare and developmental epilepsy. Our eCOA is contracted in 18 studies for 13 sponsors, across Dravet syndrome, STXBP1, SCN2A and SCN8A, SYNGAP1, tuberous sclerosis complex, developmental and epileptic encephalopathies, and focal, generalized and absence epilepsy, with sites in North America, Europe, the Middle East, Asia-Pacific and Latin America. Six further eCOA engagements run alongside them as platform licenses, recruitment and consulting work. Work beyond epilepsy has started, beginning with Pitt-Hopkins syndrome.

When a trial closes, the diary does not have to. Participants and caregivers in epilepsy studies can carry on logging seizures in Helpilepsy, our patient app. Helpilepsy is a separate app with its own consent, so the trial consent does not change. The sponsor gets natural-history and post-marketing data on the instrument the trial already validated, and the patient keeps the tool they have learned to use.

The service comes with the platform: project management, translations, IRB/EC submission documents, site training, and a help desk that answers in the participant's language.

What it covers

Live study monitoring, data quality reports and site communication.

Medication tracker

Dose logging, with titration supported where a protocol needs it.

Site dashboard

Compliance tracking, custom notifications, editing and invitations. Covers the HCP cohort view.

Device & sensor integration

Direct and indirect integration with monitoring devices and sensors.

Scheduling & calendar planning

Visit and assessment scheduling, with participant reminders.

Patient recruitment from existing database

Recruitment drawing on an established patient population.

Service desk

24/7 multilingual support for participants, sites, caregivers, CROs and sponsors.

Language localization

Participant-facing content in the languages a study runs in.

Certified translations & ePRO licensing

Instrument licensing with certified translations per country.

Dedicated clinical project management

A single point of contact from start-up to database lock.

Dedicated data management

A named data manager through to database lock.

Site initiation & training

Site initiation visits, investigator meetings, site training and train-the-trainer.

Key benefits

  • Higher completion rates, which can reduce the sample size a trial needs
  • Instruments designed around the indication, so participants and caregivers understand what is being asked of them
  • Participants and caregivers can keep logging after the trial closes, in Helpilepsy, so the dataset continues past the last visit
  • One partner for recruitment support and data capture
  • Regulatory documentation and multi-country IRB/EC submission documents included
