By GlobalDataThe latest deal comes after Thread’s recent acquisition of Modus Outcomes and inVibe.
Thread CEO John Reites said: “One of the advantages of decentralisation is engaging patients from broader geographic areas and more diverse backgrounds into clinical research so that trials better represent real-world populations.
“CureClick helps our customers make their clinical trials more accessible and inclusive while better supporting our existing base of premier recruitment-focused partners who can leverage a new marketplace for their services.”
Thread aids biopharma and contract research organisations in decentralising clinical research and facilitating electronic clinical outcome assessments for subjects, sites, caregivers and home health specialists.
In February this year, Thread and life sciences commercial services company Eversana partnered to provide a new decentralised registry and real-world data (RWD)-driven solution for pharmaceutical firms.
