Unlocking the future of patient-centered trials 

Site validation, patient recruitment, and physician recruitment solutions are only the first step in our  goal of bringing clinical trials forward as a new avenue of treatment to improve the health of patients.  We are reimagining clinical trial design so that in the future we can incorporate: Direct-to-patient trials that leverage in-home, self-administered testing and mobile care teams, who can administer therapeutics, collect samples, and capture biometric data 

  • Quest Patient Service Centers as potential screening sites and interim check-points 
  • Virtual Principal Investigators (PIs) or sub-PIs 

At the same time, we continue to make advancements in patient-centered recruitment, including:

  • Enriched identified data sets
  • Advanced cohort analytics
  • Enrollment and retention experienced-based outreach

Quest is committed to developing innovative solutions and relationships that can help accelerate the time to market of new therapeutics. By making connections between patients, physicians, and sponsors, together we can bring new hope to patients and their loved ones.
