The partnership will make use of N-Power Medicine’s real-time registry and point-of-care platform, which integrates technology, AI and embedded research staff.
It will involve implementing multiple trials in the N-Power Medicine Network, which aims to promote greater physician engagement and provide timely access to clinical trials for eligible patients.
As the network expands, the partners aim to extend this model for clinical development to more oncology indications and cancer centres.
MSD Oncology Clinical Development senior vice-president and head Marjorie Green said: “We look forward to collaborating with N-Power Medicine to leverage their new approach to expanding clinical research to more people with cancer.

N-Power co-founder and CEO Mark Lee said: “We are proud to collaborate with MSD, a company that is leading innovation in the clinical development process and the acceleration of transformative medicines to people living with cancer.
“This agreement underscores our commitment to partner with oncology clinics to bring the resources and reinvented framework that are needed to meaningfully expand access to more inclusive clinical research.”
The partnership comes after N-Power Medicine secured funds in a Series B round, raising its total financing to date to $72m.
Merck Global Health Innovation Fund led the round, which included contributions from an undisclosed US-based healthcare investor.
N-Power Medicine will use these funds to expand its network of oncology clinics and collaborations with biopharmaceutical companies.
The company’s platform is designed to integrate clinical research into everyday patient care.
