The Clinical Trials Network (CTNx) Adopts VersaTrial to Alleviate Tech Overload and Empower Research Teams

VersaTrial, the clinical research site enablement and engagement platform, today announced a collaboration with The Clinical Trials Network (CTNx). CTNx has chosen to adopt VersaTrial’s Study Organizer, aiming to elevate research productivity and efficiency across its expansive network of over 75 specialty-based private practice research sites.

VersaTrial will provide CTNx’s research staff with a streamlined solution to consolidate and access important study information such as technology portals, login credentials, and external contacts for each clinical trial. Its intelligent internet browser extension will enable users to quickly reference study-specific information directly and seamlessly within other clinical  technologies like EDC, CTMS, and ePRO systems. 

CTNx will be joining a rapidly expanding global community of research sites, hospitals, and academic medical centers who report increased productivity, reduced frustration, and greater job satisfaction thanks to VersaTrial.

“VersaTrial was specifically designed to reduce the technological burdens often associated with clinical research,” said Mike Wenger, founder and CEO of VersaTrial. “We fully support CTNx’s vision to simplify and make clinical research more accessible for private practices. I’m delighted that our solution can provide CTNx study teams the much-needed extra time to concentrate on accuracy, adherence to protocols, and most importantly, patient care.”

Christopher Petek, President of CTNx, echoed this sentiment: “We’re thrilled about our new partnership with VersaTrial and look forward to rolling out their study organizer to all the research sites in The Clinical Trials Network (CTNx). At CTNx we’re constantly looking for ways to make the lives of clinical research coordinators and investigators easier. VersaTrial does exactly that, helping organize study information which saves time and improves site staff productivity.”

Virgo and CTNx Partner to Power GI Clinical Trials

Virgo Surgical Video Solutions, Inc. (“Virgo”) and The Clinical Trials Network (“CTNx”) have today announced a strategic partnership to expand and accelerate the identification, selection, and enrollment of patients in gastrointestinal (GI) clinical trials across CTNx’s expansive network of 30+ GI clinical trial sites, using Virgo’s endoscopy data capture and artificial intelligence platform. Virgo and CTNx is an exciting partnership!

The Clinical Trials Network brings physicians together to create a leading source of high-quality research sites to present to trial sponsors. Virgo’s cloud-based, HIPAA- and SOC-2-compliant platform allows gastroenterologists to automatically record, store, and manage endoscopy videos without interrupting clinical workflows. Artificial intelligence tools developed by Virgo analyze complex inclusion and exclusion criteria set forth by trial sponsors, ultimately making clinical trials more accessible to a larger, more diverse set of patients suffering from GI conditions such as Ulcerative Colitis and Crohn’s Disease.

“We feel honored to be working with the CTNx team. We are both impressed by their network and excited to deploy our cloud-based products to their membership in pursuit of greater access, equity, and inclusion in GI clinical trials,” said Ian Strug, Co-founder and Chief Revenue Officer of Virgo. “We believe this partnership will yield heightened study opportunities across a broad spectrum of diseases and device trials, in addition to adding standard of care capabilities to the everyday work of patient care.”

“We are beyond excited to be working with the Virgo team and their best-in-class AI GI technology,” said Keith Friedenberg, CEO of CTNx. “We feel this partnership is an exciting moment for the future of clinical trial recruitment. This accelerates our mission of bringing clinical trials to community physicians and their patients.”
