What You Should Know: 

– Flatiron Health, a healthtech company focused on revolutionizing clinical research through technology integration, has announced a collaboration with NRG Oncology, a clinical research consortium within the National Cancer Institute’s (NCI) National Clinical Trials Network (NCTN). 

– The partnership aims to deploy Flatiron’s Clinical Pipe™ in a multicenter NRG clinical trial, streamlining data entry and accelerating study timelines.

Supporting NCI-Sponsored Trials w/ NRG Oncology

Flatiron Clinical Pipe™, a cutting-edge electronic health record (EHR) to electronic data capture (EDC) connector, is designed to significantly improve the efficiency and reduce the time and effort required for clinical study data entry. By automating the transfer of data from EHRs to EDC systems, the technology minimizes manual data entry, a known burden for clinical trial site teams.

This collaboration marks a significant expansion of Flatiron Clinical Pipe™ use cases, now extending to NCTN-sponsored studies. By leveraging Flatiron’s EHR-to-EDC technology, NRG Oncology seeks to alleviate the administrative burden on its network of over 1,300 research sites worldwide, streamline data management, and accelerate the pace of clinical trials.

In conjunction with the trial deployment, NRG and Flatiron will conduct a correlative study to rigorously assess the efficiency of Flatiron Clinical Pipe™ compared to traditional data entry methods. This study will provide valuable insights into the real-world impact of the technology on clinical trial workflows.

Flatiron Clinical Pipe Research/Outcomes

Previous research published in the journal ESMO Real World Data and Digital Oncology has demonstrated the significant time-saving potential of Flatiron Clinical Pipe™. The study revealed that teams using the technology were able to accurately transfer thousands of data points, representing the completion of hundreds of case report forms (CRFs), with an average completion time of just 37 seconds per CRF. This represents a substantial reduction in data entry time over the course of a clinical trial.

“We are very excited about the rich potential of this collaboration with our partners at Flatiron, a leader in healthcare systems technology. Enhancing clinical trial efficiency with Clinical Pipe, and other emerging technologies, holds the promise of delivering NRG clinical trial results to our patients with greater accuracy and speed, helping us deliver on the promise of less suffering from cancer through operational advances.” Alexandra Thomas MD, FACP, Vice Chair NRG Protocol Operation Management
