To facilitate the advancement of access to oncology clinical trials in community settings, Trial Library, Inc., a company that offers oncology clinical trials, has announced the launch of a provider decision support platform. Trial Library's platform is free to all users, and will support all oncology treatment clinical trials, and has already released an initial version that supports prostate cancer trials. Trial Library's website is at www.triallibrary.com and the platform is accessible to any user.
As part of its partnership with leading organizations in prostate cancer, Trial Library launched its platform in partnership with the Prostate Cancer Foundation (PCF), a philanthropic organization that accelerates the discovery of new treatments for prostate cancer, and the Prostate Cancer Clinical Trials Consortium (PCCTC).
Earlier this month, Trial Library, Inc., an oncology clinical trials company, released a decision support tool that can be used by providers
Among men in the United States, prostate cancer is the second leading cause of cancer-related death, with clear disparities in clinical outcomes based on race and ethnicity associated with it.. As a matter of fact, Black men in the United States are approximately two times more likely to die from advanced prostate cancer than white men, according to research carried out by the National Cancer Institute.. Hala Borno is the CEO, Co-Founder, and a practicing genitourinary medical oncologist at Trial Library.. In his role as a researcher, Dr.. During his study, Borno observed that clinical trial participants were not representative of the population of patients who are diagnosed with prostate cancer and undergo treatment once they have been diagnosed.As a result of this mismatch, Dr.. It is Borno's goal to develop an evidence-based technology solution for improving access to clinical trials in oncology in the future

In addition to providing decision support at the point of care, Trial Library's provider decision support solution guides providers in identifying treatment clinical trials that are relevant to their patients at the point of care. Using the platform, results are generated that are matched based on disease state, prior exposure to treatment, genomics, and rare pathologies. The available options may generate a 75% fit rate with regard to the patient's needs, however, solutions like Trial Library's decision support enable providers and patients to go 'the last mile' and get on study through a rigorous clinical qualification approach integrated with technology-enabled services that address social needs," says Dr..

It has been suggested that most providers use clinicaltrials.gov or just refer their patients to a neighboring academic medical center, a process that is inefficient and leads to inequities, according to Steve Buck, co-founder and Chief Product Officer of clinicaltrials.gov. We have developed a platform that ensures clinical trial slot availability, enables HIPAA-compliant referrals, and provides additional technology-enabled integrated services such as patient navigation assistance."
It represents a full circle moment for PCF since this technology was inspired by evidence generated as part of a PCF Young Investigator Award. "The Trial Library platform represents a full circle moment for PCF," says Dr. Charles Ryan, CEO of PCF. "As a health equity organization, we believe we can help create new standards for improving access to oncology clinical trials for prostate cancer," he says.
Trial Library's platform is synergistic with that of contract research organizations (CROs), resulting in increased efficiency for trial sites. We are experiencing inefficiencies at the site level of clinical trials that can be resolved by technology, especially by enabling decentralized pre-screening as part of clinical trials. It is evident that Trial Library's approach improves recruitment overall as well as the efficiency of research sites by enlisting community providers to assist in patient identification," explains Jake Vinson, CEO of the PCCTC.. There was a significant increase in recruitment across the United States with a focus on diversity as a result of the PCCTC partnering with Trial Library on a prostate cancer study
