As a certified partner, Linical will leverage Science 37’s MetasiteTM to provide global access to patients beyond its existing brick-and-mortar site network

 

RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK, N.C. and OSAKA, JAPAN, November 17, 2022—Science 37 Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq: SNCE), the industry-leading Metasite, and Linical Americas, a U.S. subsidiary of The Linical Group, a leading global contract research organization (CRO), today announced a partnership that will facilitate the deployment of decentralized clinical trial solutions—powered by Science 37—to Linical’s international clients, enabling patient access from virtually anywhere. 

 

As part of the collaboration, Linical will integrate Science 37’s virtual site capabilities into its network, to deliver faster, more inclusive, patient-centric trials to global research clients. The partnership will enable decentralized and hybrid trials, focusing on treatments in the oncology, central nervous system, and infectious disease therapeutic areas.

 

“By partnering with Linical, we have an important new ally in our mission to accelerate clinical research and enable universal access for patients,” said David Coman, Chief Executive Officer of Science 37. “Our technology-enabled Metasite will empower and enhance Linical’s solutions, helping patients access new life-changing treatments quicker, in the largest and most prevalent therapeutic areas.”

 

Linical is a mid-size CRO headquartered in Osaka, Japan, with offices in multiple locations across North America, Europe, and Asia. By focusing on three major therapeutic areas—oncology, CNS, and infectious disease—Linical can deliver “the right size, right reach, and right team” from early-stage trials to large, multinational studies.

 

“We are delighted to become a certified partner with Science 37, and we look forward to providing our global clients with the numerous proven benefits of decentralized and hybrid trials enabled by Science 37,” said Vita Lanoce, MS, Chief Executive Officer of Linical Americas. “Science 37’s deep expertise and experience in oncology, CNS, and infectious disease align very much with our own. We look forward to working with them to help our global clients accelerate research, enable universal access, and reduce the patient burden in these important therapeutic areas.”
