ERT and Science 37 have announced a partnership enabling ERT’s Cardiac Safety, Respiratory, and Imaging solutions to be incorporated into the Science 37 virtual, or decentralized clinical trial offering.

The ERT and Science 37 partnership enables sponsors to capture the same data in a virtual model as it would in a traditional model, while aiming to reduce patient burden, minimize patient risk, and enable study continuity.

“Given the challenges caused by COVID-19, trial sponsors need effective virtual trial solutions that enable patients to participate safely, without jeopardizing data quality,” said Jim Corrigan, CEO at ERT. “We’re pleased to partner with Science 37 and to expand the use of our Respiratory, Cardiac Safety and Imaging solutions to support virtual trials throughout the pandemic and beyond.”

During home and telemedicine visits, Science 37 will use ERT’s proven remote respiratory and cardiac safety data collection solutions. Additionally, Science 37 will leverage ERT’s Imaging services through a local-care network—helping to limit patient travel with medical imaging services closer to home.
