PRA Health Sciences expands its response to COVID-19 with pharmacovigilance solutions for authorized vaccines and therapeutics - Seite 2

Since the onset of the pandemic, PRA has launched several initiatives to support the global COVID-19 response. PRA Health Sciences’ leadership in digital health enables us to quickly and proactively manage COVID-19 studies and programs, including:

• Expanding the Mobile Health Platform, PRA’s decentralized clinical trials platform, to address sponsors’ needs for virtual COVID-19 studies.
• Managing an unprecedented study start-up timeline that was days rather than months. In 2020, PRA took one study from final protocol to first patient dosed for a COVID-19 therapeutic in just five days – a timeline unheard of in the industry. Within 15 days, the trial scope expanded outside the US and ended with 2,000 patients across 280 sites in 35 countries.
• Launching the COVID-19 Monitoring Program, an end-to-end commercial solution that supports patients and administrators in mitigating impacts of COVID-19 – from education, exposure, testing, monitoring and through recovery. Recently, the program was enhanced with at-home COVID-19 testing capabilities and an AI-based bot service to answer patients’ COVID-19-related questions.
  
  
• Conducting ongoing, real-world data analysis of more than 26 million patients who have been exposed, tested, diagnosed with COVID-19, or received a COVID-19 vaccination. By using de-identified medical and prescription claims data, PRA longitudinally tracks patients and uses these insights to improve study design, such as validating protocol inclusion/exclusion criteria against real-world care patterns and identifying physicians who manage high volumes of COVID-19 patients for potential investigator sites.
