Science 37 Nearly Doubles U.S. Enrollment for GSK Phase 3 Rare Disease Trial

Science 37, a leader in enhancing patient access to clinical trials, was a key enrolling site for the primary completion of a Phase 3 rare disease trial sponsored by global biopharmaceutical company, GSK. The hepatology study of an investigational medicine for cholestatic pruritus in primary biliary cholangitis (PBC) required 230 global participants, of which Science 37 was able to contribute almost half (17 - 47%) of the U.S. enrollment for the study.

Recognizing that the available participant population for rare disease studies is often extremely limited and dispersed globally, GSK welcomed an innovative approach to expanding trial access—one that would also help patients overcome symptom-based barriers such as fatigue that make it challenging to adhere to frequent site visits required in traditional clinical trials. Science 37's Direct-to-Participant Site solution allowed participants to take part in the study from home, reducing participant burden, especially if they lived far from traditional brick-and-mortar sites. By extending geographic access and facilitating real-time, at-home data collection, Science 37 significantly expanded the pool of qualified participants, a key factor to its U.S. enrollment contribution.

“At GSK, we design trials with a patient centric approach which leverages technology and remote services in order to make trials more accessible for participation. Science 37’s innovative services meant we could bring the trial to the homes or neighborhoods of patients in rural areas who would typically have to travel hundreds of miles to the nearest clinical site, which may otherwise have been a barrier to participating,” said Brandon Maggio, Global Head of Digital Operations & Process Optimization at GSK.

GSK’s ongoing commitment to producing research data of the highest quality has led them to emphasize trial solutions that enhance the patient experience. Science 37 had the capabilities to screen across most U.S. states, in many places where there were no brick-and-mortar sites participating. Additionally, Science 37 enabled participants at risk of dropping out from traditional brick-and-mortar sites to transition seamlessly to an at-home trial experience, enhancing engagement while maintaining study continuity. This strategy led to impressive results, with 82.3% completing Part A of the trial—the crucial milestone for evaluating the investigational drug's initial effects compared to placebo.

"Once again, Science 37 has demonstrated its unique ability to meet the needs of study sponsors confronted by the most challenging enrollment and study conduct conditions,” said Dr. Debra Weinstein, VP of Internal Medicine and Principal Investigator at Science 37. “The enhanced access of a decentralized approach becomes invaluable when sponsors are dealing with small patient populations that are widely dispersed across countries or even continents.”
