90% of clinical trials are delayed or canceled because they cannot recruit enough patients and healthy volunteers to participate. Traditionally, clinical trials are conducted at large academic institutions, which provide care for only 15% of the patient population. The remaining 85% of the patient population is being cared for by community-based physicians.
The Cortex network makes it easier to connect doctors, patients, and researchers facilitating trials by using the NRI Trial Finder and providing a list of community-based physicians willing to work with researchers on drug and device trials.
