Having problems enrolling patients in your clinical trials?

HomeTrak™ is the answer

Enrolling patients in clinical trials continues to be a difficult and expensive proposition. Patients are no longer willing to be inconvenienced, and if they are willing to participate, it is very expensive to compensate them for their time and travel expenses. HomeTrak™, the innovative method for allowing patients to provide their own blood sample with a simple finger-stick, has revolutionized the laboratory analysis of patients blood.

Many Pharmaceutical Companies and Clinical Research Organizations have realized that HomeTrak™ drives enrollment and compliance while allowing for better demographic coverage in clinical trials. A patient’s proximity to laboratory testing services is no longer a barrier for clinical trials.

What is HomeTrak™?

HomeTrak™ is revolutionizing laboratory services for patients the way home glucose monitoring did for diabetics. HomeTrak™ kits eliminate the need for the clinical trial participant to travel to a laboratory to have blood drawn. Participants can complete the blood draw from the comfort of their home, office, hotel room or virtually anywhere.

HomeTrak™ allows patients participating in clinical trails that require frequent or periodic lab testing to have convenient access to laboratory services. HomeTrak™ enhances compliance and allows many more patients the ability to participate in clinical trials.

How are the HomeTrak™ Kits used?

The kits include everything the patient needs to provide the blood sample. With a simple finger stick, the patient places six to eight drops of blood into the small tube and uses the pre-paid package to ship the sample to our lab. That’s it! The kit also includes patient-specific information tailored for their specific disease process or disease therapy.
