A patient-centric approach to expediting and simplifying clinical trials

This external real-world rare disease case study demonstrates how Quest Diagnostics BioPharma Services resolved clinical site travel barriers for a geographically dispersed patient population. By implementing a 3-tier hybrid specimen collection model (Clinical Sites, local Quest Patient Service Centers, and ExamOne in-home mobile phlebotomy), approximately 16% of collections were completed outside traditional clinical sites (14.29% at PSCs and 1.86% via mobile phlebotomy). This solution reduced patient burden, protected trial enrollment timelines, and ensured protocol compliance through database lock.
