New dimensions for oncology studies through digital solutions 

State-of-the-art technologies enable clinical research projects in oncology to become more patient-centered through digital approaches, leading to a sustainable improvement in the quality of life for cancer patients. 

Let's create an impact. Together. 

The future of oncology research 

By using state-of-the-art technologies such as patient-centered apps, ePRO/eCOA, wearables or telemedicine, we offer you the perfect combination of comprehensive services and innovative technical solutions as a full-service CRO. 

Digitizing Clinical Trials for Oncology

The shift to decentralized and hybrid trial designs enables better collection, analysis and management of data and leads to an improved patient experience by using wearables and patient apps. 

Patient Preference

73% of patients are interested in app-based supportive care during  radiotherapy.  

Physical Activity 

Improvement in patient health through correlation of daily steps and severity of symptoms.

Symptom Tracking 

ePRO-based symptom monitoring improves QoL as well as OS and reduces emergency hospitalization. 

Patient Apps 

80% of healthcare providers consider using app-based reports beneficial. 

Sleep Quality

Physical activity measured and supported by fitness trackers improved sleep quality in breast cancer survivors.

Medication Adherence

A weekly questionnaire on just six clinical parameters makes it possible to detect a relapse at an early stage, on average six weeks earlier.

Telemedicine

Web-based monitoring and self-scored symptoms with clinician follow-up improved OS and QoL in lung cancer patients. 

ePRO/eCOA 

Meta-analyses of 30 studies and 5.3k patients show that app interventions improve QoL and alleviate depression. 

HANSE Study - Digitalization enables decentralization

Alcedis has conducted a lighthouse lung cancer study where >400,000 potential subjects have been approached, >13,000 patients were screened, and 5,191 patients were recruited in 15 months. Subject data, CT scan evaluation and risk scoring were AI-supported. The recruitment campaign was also supported by Social media, Google Ads, personalized mailings and a strong media presence (newspapers, TV).

Streamlined Patient Journey

Online self-registration with a primary self-assessment for eligibility screening, appointment self-booking of low dose CTs in a mobile CT truck.

Recruitment Success

Recruitment was driven by a high level of public visibility and digital accessibility. Over 60% of participants self-registered online, despite the age of the target group (55-79 years old).

Pioneering Approach 

National lung cancer screening program: HANSE study results initiated and supported a national governmental screening program that may already start in 2024.
