Medrio and Avance Clinical Reach 150 Clinical Trials Partnership Milestone

Medrio, Inc., the leading provider of eClinical technology to pharmaceutical, biotech, medical device, diagnostics, and animal health markets, and Avance Clinical, the leading Australian CRO for biotechs have reached a milestone of supporting 150 clinical trials together. Medrio and Avance Clinical’s successful partnership began in 2012 on a Phase I study with 103 patients and 14 sites, with Avance Clinical being Medrio’s first partner in Australia.

Avance Clinical has utilized Medrio’s electronic data capture (EDC) solution successfully for the past eight years supporting 158 Phase I studies, 6,047 patients, and 236 sites. The HRECs usual review cycle in Australia, which takes only 4 to 8 weeks, coupled with Medrio’s ability to achieve FPI in less than three weeks is a perfect combination for accelerating study starts, a critical component to Phase I trials.

“Medrio has always been a wonderful partner to Avance Clinical. In addition to their EDC, we’ve used their ePRO and Direct Capture solutions, and we’re always impressed by not only their speed and flexibility but also their support. We know that if we have a question or need assistance that it will be addressed immediately and resolved quickly. Our partnership continues to flourish through ongoing clinical trials. We also recently had a great conversation with Medrio on their podcast, Trial Talks, about Australia’s unique position in the midst of COVID-19. I look forward to the continued success and growth of our partnership,” said Yvonne Lungerhausen, CEO, Avance Clinical.

In July 2020 Medrio will launch Trial Talks, a clinical trials podcast series. Hosted by Medrio thought leaders, Trial Talks season one will focus on industry trends and challenges, unique solutions, and the perseverance of the industry through one of our toughest challenges, COVID-19. Trial Talks season 1, episode 1 “Why Clinical Trials are Thriving in Australia” will focus on how Avance Clinical prepared for the pandemic, what tools they leveraged that allowed trial continuation, and why clinical trials are currently thriving in the region.

“I’ve always been data-driven, and reaching the 150 trials milestone speaks volumes about Medrio and Avance’s relationship. Trust is earned, and I’d like to think that we’ve shown that we offer not only sophisticated clinical trial technology but also pride in our work. Our support team is available 24/7 and I am always proud to hear our customers speak so highly of them. At Medrio we always have the patients in mind, and the faster we can get a trial up and running or provide support, the faster the patients in need will have the drugs, therapies, or devices that they need. I enjoyed interviewing Yvonne Lungerhausen (CEO) and Sandrien Louwaars (Director of Business Development Operations) for the first Trial Talks podcast episode. It was fascinating to hear how Australia and New Zealand are operating in the midst of a global pandemic, and it highlights the perseverance of the industry and the Golden Age of pharma,” explained Mike Novotny, CEO, Medrio.
