The newly added automation into THREAD’s DCT platform is designed to accelerate initiation of co-created and configured trials by reducing the start-up time to onboard users of the platform by as much as 30%. Also, users would be able to eliminate inefficiencies by more than 30% and reach as much as 25% cost savings when precompleting data. This reduces data capture and removing source data verification.

Further, users can precisely monitor and support investigation success by having richer data in real time, including real-time grades on trial performance. It also allows a secure review of participant data across the study, artificial intelligence support, and operational controls.

THREAD CEO John Reites said: “We are further scaling our DCT platform with next-level automation, AI/ML offerings, and optimised features focused to meet the evolving needs of our customers, research sites, and participants.”
