2023 SCOPE Best of Show Awards Finalists
Company: 1nHealth
New Product: 1nData
Booth: 233
Patient enrollment is chaotic, fails more often than it succeeds, and hasn’t had much meaningful innovation in a decade. 1nData is built to benefit all recruitment stakeholders: the study teams, the sites, and the patient. Study teams often don’t know recruitment is in trouble until it’s truly on fire. 1nData provides comprehensive real-time data on overall enrollment pace, screen-fail rates and reasons, site performance, and more. Instead of just regurgitating information study teams already know, these insights allow strategic decisions about budget and resources to happen sooner. Sites are overworked and understaffed; calling a long list of “leads” who probably won’t pick up, and likely won’t qualify for the study anyways is demoralizing and a waste of time. 1nData allows sites to intuitively interact with leads via SMS before calling, provides a secondary screening message through chatbot automation, and has self-scheduling built in. Patients who add a site screening phone call to their personal calendar pick up more than 90% of the time, compared with 30% of patients who just get an unannounced call. Patents get to use a simple screening form and receive communication through their preferred pathway – be that text, phone call, or email. They can interact with a bot any time to get more information or get in touch with a team member. By consolidating patients and building a thoughtful flow more people who are interested get the opportunity to consider the study – instead of forgetting during the 1-week window while they wait for a return call.

Company: Deep 6 AI
New Product: Deep 6 for Life Sciences
Booth: 922
Our AI technology is reshaping clinical research from protocol creation and site selection to patient recruitment. Using our cohort builder tool, researchers build a study on our platform by inputting the inclusion and exclusion criteria, or simply entering the NCT number (which pulls data from the government website).
The largely untapped source of unstructured data in EMRs is typically only searched manually. Once a study is built, our technology utilizes natural language processing (NLP) to read through a healthcare system’s entire EMR, including both structured and unstructured data, to pull together a list of matching patients for that trial. These patients then need to be validated by the user. With machine learning, the tool becomes more precise over time. Using our innovative technology, we help principal investigators, clinical researcher coordinators, and research administrators streamline their outdated research processes to focus on bringing new therapies to patients.
Our ecosystem is constantly adding new research sites including hospitals, CROs, academic medical centers, life sciences companies and more. With dozens of major healthcare organizations in our system, including NCI designated cancer centers, we have more than 1100 individual sites, and more than 19 million patients. This network of sites, together with our network of top-tier pharma and biotech companies of all sizes form our ecosystem. These companies utilize our software to pinpoint the best sites in our system to run their studies. Our products help sponsors find the right patients for the right trials at the right time to succeed.

Company: Endpoint Clinical
New Product: Audit Data Management Platform
Booth: 932
To maintain data oversight and ensure integrity, Health Authority guidelines require IRT audit log data to come directly to Investigators without Sponsors handling or managing the data in the process. To meet this requirement, IRT vendors must facilitate Investigator access to system audit logs post study close, outside the IRT system. To solve this challenge, Endpoint Clinical® partnered with Egnyte® to create a secure, GXP-compliant platform that delivers clinical trial audit log data to Investigators at the end of the trial directly from the IRT upon study closeout. The platform solution uniquely provides controlled access to the site-specific data to each Investigator while also providing the Sponsor documented proof that the audit log was distributed to the Investigator. In this manner, the Sponsor can fulfill their obligation to enact oversight of the process and have assurances of ALCOA+ principles without being an intermediary. The clinical trial and regulatory landscapes are continuously changing, and through Endpoint’s commitment to bringing innovative solutions to our customers and stakeholders, we are excited to be able to offer this new capability to Sponsors and Investigators of all the trials we support.
InnovoCommerce’s product, SiteCloud, is a site-empowering, multi-sponsor collaborative cloud with artificial intelligence capabilities and regulatory workflows built to address rare disease, treatment, prevention, and other trials of any size and complexity. From study startup to closeout, SiteCloud provides the ability to virtually qualify sites and remotely collaborate with them in their preferred method of communication, including chat, call, and video. Its robust eISF includes source, site, and regulatory documents in one spot for seamless, real-time access. This allows onsite visits by the monitor to be effectively supplemented with the remote monitoring model. Additionally, the AI model processes source documents and automatically redacts sensitive content, extracts metadata, auto-classifies them, and assists the study nurse to rectify potential issues based on its evolving model. With its compliant design and high degree of accuracy, this innovative approach dramatically reduces the site staff’s burden and eliminates the redundancy of tasks that are performed at the site level. With SiteCloud, sponsors experience reduced costs and a significant improvement in their clinical trial’s data accuracy, integrity, and completion.
Company: IQVIA
New Product: IQVIA's Integrated IRT eCOA Platform
Booth: 607
Launched in May 2022, IQVIA’s IRT eCOA orchestration solution goes beyond point-to-point integration to deliver a solution that extends the power of the individual platforms to produce an additional set of features and capabilities. In addition, the coordination of services simplifies and accelerates study design and conduct for teams using IRT and eCOA. IQVIA’s IRT eCOA solution delivers improved flexibility and compliance by eliminating duplicate data entry and expediting critical workflows, such as patient screening, enrollment and randomization. For example, patient enrollment data entered into IRT flows directly into eCOA to reduce site burden and the risks of data entry error. Likewise, screened data from eCOA flows directly into IRT so eligible patients are automatically flagged for randomization, stratification and treatment arm designation. These are two of the many workflow optimization steps built to reduce effort and improve study quality. By minimizing manual data entry, sites can reduce time spent on redundant tasks as well as error potential and feel empowered to spend more time on value added activities that fully utilize their skill sets and training, such as spending time with patients. Finally, unlike operating trials using individual, unintegrated IRT and eCOA platforms, the unified approach enables quick access to data, resulting in faster, improved decision-making.

Obtaining informed consent is the first critical step in gaining a volunteer’s participation in a study, so eCONSENT was added to streamline the consenting process. eCONSENT is a simple yet robust solution that complements the site’s existing workflows. Sites are able to promptly upload in their consent documents, prepare the document(s) for eCONSENT, route the document for signature, and then acquire all Part 11 compliant electronic signatures in an efficient manner. Within RealTime-SOMS, the site can connect their eCONSENT document to their delegation log in addition to having compliance popups and visual cues throughout the system to decrease consenting errors.
COVID-19 and the global pandemic are household words to everyone. There is little doubt that the environment has created a catalyst to look at new ways and technology to facilitate the collection of clinical trial data. Beyond Survey’s and ePRO, there has been a surge in telehealth/live video calling, but not without challenges to privacy and security. The iTakeControl platform enables the collection of audio, video, images, and documents anywhere a patient may be with fully automated de-identification in a validated and 21CFR Part 11 compliant system. A live video call can be recorded and used as source data in a clinical trial for review, scoring, and retrospective analysis as opposed to simply a video visit.

Company: SunshineMD
New Product: US Investigator Performance Database
Booth: 730
The Sunshine Investigator Tool draws upon data from Open Payments, ClinicalTrials.gov and SunshineMD proprietary classification and modeling systems to construct a user accessible database of virtually every active US clinical investigator since the end of 2013. For these 75,903 investigators in Open Payments, the SunshineMD database contains critical information, including:
- Almost every study each investigator has worked on.
- Each investigator’s enrollment performance compared to every other US investigator on a given clinical trial.
- Investigator specific summary enrollment and start-up performance scores across all the studies on which that investigator has worked compared to any subset of investigators in the US investigator population, e.g., by specialty.
- Investigator contact information.
For virtually every pharmaceutical industry study the following information is also available in the SunshineMD Investigator Tool:
- The names and contact information of the US investigators who worked on that specific study
- How well each of the investigators working on that study enrolled compared to all the other investigators on that specific study.
- Study design details and key dates.
To test the accuracy of our enrollment measurements we examined our enrollment data against actual patient enrollment data from five major CROs and sponsor companies. The rank order correlation between our enrollment data and the actual study data supplied by the clinical trial organization regularly exceeded .9+.

Company: uMotif
New Product: uMotif eCOA/ePRO and Engagement Platform: First New Validated Innovation in eCOA/ePRO Since Paper Instruments Were Deployed on Smartphones
Booth: 533
uMotif offers an eClinical cloud native eCOA/ePRO platform for site-based, hybrid and fully decentralized clinical, real-world, and post-marketing research trials. The cornerstone of uMotif’s offering is the Motif – a patented, flower-like graphical user interface to capture PRO, symptom and eDiary data. Each petal of the flower represents a different question, such as an Outcome Measure, symptom, or eDiary entry. Patients simply swipe on the petal to capture their data. It is fast, simple, engaging and accurate. The Motif was validated by independent research organization SAFIRA Clinical Research at Dublin City University. Fifty-five participants completed testing in two randomized groups using the Motif interface and a traditional 5-point Verbal Response Scale (VRS-5). The study results collected and analyzed by SAFIRA showed equivalence between the Motif interface and standard VRS (high ICC) for capturing VRS data. This makes the Motif the first innovation in eCOA/ePRO since paper questionnaires were migrated to smartphones. Equivalence testing was based on the most commonly used PRO, the EQ-5D-5L, which was provided for the study with support from Euroqol. Study results are expected to be published in 2023. The Motif gives researchers an entirely new and alternative way to encourage patients to capture data. Patients enjoy using the interface because it was created by a team of global experts in consumer design, as well as clinical trial technology. It is generating unprecedented amounts of data capture.
