Medical Research Network - Graham Wylie
Running Home, Site and Bespoke clinical trials support services, Graham Wylie, CEO, has spearheaded a business idea personified in MRN, a clinical trials model running trial visits in the patient’s own home, basing their care in the community rather than channeling everything through research sites. According to the firm, this hugely reduces the impact of the trial on the patient’s life making the trial more accessible and easier to participate. The approach has led to a 60% increase in recruitment rates in sites using the service and has achieved a 95% retention rate, saving trials from total failure and speeding up already well recruiting efforts.
Medical Research Network is now, under Graham’s guidance, supporting the use of big data analytical tools for recruitment planning, protocol design and site selection, working with partners on telemedicine offerings and continually reviewing how we, as an industry, can engage with patients and make their participation in clinical trials, the lifeblood of our industry, as burden-free as possible.
