Trial Library has collaborated with the American Oncology Network (AON) to improve the identification and recruitment of subjects for oncology studies.
This partnership is aimed at broadening access to clinical trials for subjects with several cancers, such as breast and lung.
By leveraging Trial Library’s subject detection and navigation platforms, the providers of AON can detect participants eligible for the trial and communicate with them about suitable trial opportunities.
Trial Library is now integrated into three practices affiliated with AON spanning a total of ten locations, as a part of the collaboration. These practices are Zangmeister Cancer Center in Ohio, Messino Cancer Centers in North Carolina, and Oncology Hematology Associates in Missouri.
Since the launch of the platform at these locations, the first quarter has seen an acceleration in trial enrolment, detecting subjects eligible for solid tumour trials.
The partnership between AON and Trial Library is expected to minimise the administrative load on providers and transform the approach community oncology practices take toward clinical research.
AON clinical research vice-president Katie Goodman said: “Clinical trials are essential to advancing cancer treatment, yet many patients face barriers to participation.
“Partnering with Trial Library streamlines the trial identification process, reducing the burden on providers, and ensuring more patients have access to innovative therapies that could change their lives.”
Technology company Trial Library specialises in expedited and equitable recruitment for oncology trials. It has an “evidence-based”, and “provider-facing” software, combined with technology-enabled subject navigation.
AON was founded in 2018. With more than 290 providers in 21 states, it offers healthcare solutions via its physician-led model.
According to AON, the network arms its physicians with the necessary tools to maintain independence while offering support. With this, they will be able to concentrate on delivering the standard of care for each subject.
