BLUE BELL, PA. and CARY, N.C., April 27, 2021 — UBC, a late-stage research and patient-support services organization, and THREAD, a technology and service provider enabling DCTs, today announced UBC\u2019s selection of THREAD to leverage decentralized approaches across studies in the UBC portfolio. The fully connected offering further enables powerful decentralized approaches, rapid program start-up timelines, and a more integrated offering from data acquisition through actionable insights in a single platform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cTHREAD\u2019s approach to decentralized studies, continued investment in new solutions that surround evidence generation, patient engagement, and connections to other third-party data, aligns perfectly with our goals to bring additional decentralized options to our current and future clients in the UBC portfolio,\u201d says Brett Huselton, CBO of UBC. \u201cTogether, THREAD and UBC, underpinned by a three-year working relationship, are bringing new innovations to our clients and industry, helping to facilitate adoption of decentralized trials in global research.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

UBC\u2019s market-leading virtual evidence generation offering is enhanced by THREAD\u2019s platform and services, which enable organizations to conduct DCTs globally with established tools that include eConsent, eCOA, sensors, devices, telehealth, and engaging patients that participate in UBC programs. UBC\u2019s existing offering includes digital recruitment and engagement strategies<\/a>, in-home nursing support, clinical assessments, and drug administration, as well as powerful real-world data infrastructure, data enrichment strategies, and rapid analytics software to accelerate more informed decision-making.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are delighted to grow our ongoing partnership with UBC and help expand their DCT leadership in the CRO industry,\u201d says John Reites, CEO of THREAD. \u201cThis partnership offers participants, trial sites, and biopharma unparalleled insights and experiences that set a new standard in decentralized clinical trials management. The entrepreneurial approach and culture between the organizations is a strong fit and we will continue to advance the offering as we win together in the market.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both UBC and THREAD have experienced significant growth as the industry continues to embrace hybrid decentralized approaches for study designs. Both companies are eager to further highlight and communicate how this partnership boosts retention, increases inclusivity, and improves outcomes for all industry stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
