Separately, clinical trial software firm Castor has raised $45m in a Series B financing round led by Eight Roads Ventures and F-Prime Capital, and joined by current investors Two Sigma Ventures and Inkef Capital.
The new financing takes Castor’s total funding to $65m. The proceeds will be used to support product development, especially to scale up direct-to-patient trials.
Castor developed a self-service clinical research platform that researchers can use to design studies and incorporate data from all types of sources in real-time. Patients can self-enrol, consent and share their data.
