With the recent advances in AI and digital health, there is no doubt clinical trials are experiencing a paradigm shift. As new therapies emerge to address complex diseases such as cancer, rare genetic disorders, and chronic conditions, the demand for faster, more efficient trials has skyrocketed.
Yet, the journey is far from smooth—operational inefficiencies, patient attrition, and data fragmentation continue to stall progress.
Take oncology trials, for example, where challenges like patient recruitment, retention, and managing vast amounts of fragmented data across multiple tools, sites, and research teams often slow down progress and increase costs.
So, how can researchers overcome these barriers and accelerate their trials? This is where eClinical Cloud platforms come into play, offering a unified solution to streamline workflows, boost patient engagement, and centralize data management for greater efficiency.
At Jeeva Clinical Trials, we are at the forefront of this transformation. By offering a unified, patient-focused platform, it simplifies workflows, boosts collaboration, and keeps participants engaged.
For researchers and sponsors, it’s the kind of solution that turns challenges into opportunities. But before we dive deeper, let’s take a closer look at the current state of clinical trials.
The Current State of Clinical Trials
Clinical trials are under immense pressure to deliver faster results, but the road to success is often bumpy. Let’s break down the key hurdles slowing down progress:
Fragmented Tools and High Costs
Clinical trials still rely on a patchwork of outdated systems to manage critical areas like participant data, site monitoring, and regulatory compliance.
This lack of integration results in inefficiencies, errors, and skyrocketing costs. To put it into perspective, conducting a clinical trial can cost an eye-popping $40,000 per day—rising to $55,716 daily for Phase III trials.
With these kinds of expenses, delays can quickly become a financial burden.
Patient Recruitment and Retention Crisis
Recruiting patients is hard enough, but retaining them through the trial is a whole other challenge. According to an article from Applied Clinical Trials, 85% of trials fail to recruit enough patients, and 80% are delayed due to recruitment issues.
These numbers highlight a persistent struggle that impacts trial timelines, costs, and ultimately, the success of the research.
Regulatory Hurdles and Data Compliance
On top of everything, global trials have to navigate complex and ever-changing regulatory requirements. Failing to stay compliant can result in costly delays or, worse, trial terminations.
This underscores the urgent need for a unified platform that ensures seamless data tracking and regulatory adherence across all sites and regions.
Jeeva’s eClinical Cloud: A Game-Changing Solution
As we’ve discussed, the current state of clinical trials is far from ideal. So, can Jeeva’s eClinical platform address these pain points and revolutionize the way trials are managed? The answer is a resounding yes. Here’s how:
Unified Platform
Our platform combines everything clinical teams need, such as eConsent, remote monitoring, site management, and real-time analytics, into one unified platform.
Gone are the days of managing disparate systems that create inefficiencies and errors.
With this integration, study teams, CROs, sponsors, and regulatory authorities can collaborate seamlessly, improving trial workflows and speeding up timelines.
Patient-Centric Design
One of the most pressing issues in clinical trials is patient recruitment and retention. Traditional systems often put too much burden on participants, leading to dropout rates.
Our eClinical platform is built with patients in mind, offering features like remote participation, eConsent, virtual visits, and mobile-enabled dashboards.
These capabilities make it easier for patients to stay engaged, helping solve the recruitment and retention crisis we’ve seen in trials.
Regulatory Compliance Made Simple
Navigating complex regulatory requirements is another huge challenge, especially for global trials.
That is why we automate compliance tracking for regulations like GDPR and FDA 21 CFR Part 11, ensuring sponsors meet the highest standards without the headache of manually tracking compliance.
This level of automation reduces delays caused by regulatory issues and helps keep trials on track.
Real-Time Data and Collaboration
Clinical trials rely on data—and timely, actionable insights are essential. Jeeva’s platform uses an AI-driven approach to standardize the study configuration and automation of manual tasks/activities to deliver real-time insights, allowing researchers to monitor trends, spot risks, and make informed decisions faster than ever before.
This data-driven approach helps researchers stay ahead of challenges and keep trials progressing smoothly.
How Jeeva Can Addresses Real-World Challenges
Example: 1 Remote Patient Monitoring in Rare Disease Trials
Consider a rare disease trial conducted in rural regions where participants live far from study sites. Traditional methods would require frequent travel, leading to high dropout rates and reduced data quality.
In such cases, our eClinical platform enables remote patient monitoring through telehealth capabilities, wearable integrations, and eConsent solutions.
As a result, the trial can collect high-quality data without inconveniencing participants, ensuring its success.
Example: 2 Data Integration in Oncology Research
In oncology trials, researchers often collect data from various sources, including imaging systems, lab results, and patient-reported outcomes.
Here, our unified system integrates these data streams into a single dashboard, enabling researchers to identify trends and make data-driven decisions more effectively. This approach not only saves time but also improves the overall accuracy of the study.
Conclusion
The future of clinical trials depends on embracing technology that simplifies operations and enhances patient engagement. Jeeva’s eClinical Cloud offers a unified, patient-centric platform that not only addresses current challenges but also sets the stage for more efficient and inclusive research.
Whether you’re managing a multi-site trial or a personalized study, our innovative solutions can help you achieve your goals with confidence.
