Case Study
Beat AML®
In 2016, the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society (LLS) established the Beat AML® trial with the aim of advancing the treatment paradigm for AML through collaboration across over 20+ sites, sponsors, and technology vendors.
In order to effectively run the coordination needed for this large master protocol, LLS sought a technology partner with capabilities to (1) enable remote access to source data, (2) facilitate data entry with EHR-to-EDC technology, and (3) provide an EDC system that can be seamlessly updated. LLS partnered with Flatiron (formerly Protocol First) to provide multiple eClinical solutions to meet the high demands and standards for Beat AML® with great success.

Case Study
Prospective Clinico-Genomic Study
Flatiron Health, Foundation Medicine and Genentech partnered to develop a novel, low-interventional prospective study for patients living with advanced lung cancer 一 PCG. This study piloted the use of a technology-enabled prospective data collection platform and aimed to alleviate clinical trial operational challenges.

Study Results:
950 enrollments in 18 months
0 EDC fields needed; study data captured in the EHR
100% of surveyed sites said that they would run a similar study again
100% of participating sites liked answering queries directly in OncoTrials®
There’s a lot of human error components that can come with that when you’re moving a lot of data points, and you’re having to answer a lot of queries which also take time. For us, this is the first technology solution we’ve been presented with that really takes everything off the site.
