By GlobalDataThe pharma company commissioned its ACT4Patients programme to reshape clinical studies and allow wider patient access to clinical research via technology and new research approaches.
Under the integrated patient platform, Sanofi selected Thread as its only collaborator to help boost digital transformation and speed up the clinical development timeline.
Sanofi senior vice-president for global head of clinical sciences and operations Lionel Bascles said: “At Sanofi, patients are at the heart of everything we do, and that includes helping them to participate in clinical trials. We are excited to partner with Thread as we pursue our vision of transforming clinical research through the lens of the patient.
“This collaboration will enhance our efforts to connect and engage patients and investigators as we continue on our mission to decentralise clinical trials and extend these life-changing opportunities to more patients across the world.”
Thread CEO John Reites said: “Thread’s technology platform is transforming clinical research through its ability to increase efficiencies, improve patient engagement, and most importantly, enable patients who previously did not have access to studies to participate in them.
“We are honoured that Sanofi selected Thread to support its bold and industry-leading commitment to put patients at the centre of all their studies through its ACT4Patients Programme.”
