Syndicom

What is it?

A TrialEdge™ group is a web-based collaborative knowledge network that connects investigating surgeons, medical device companies, and other partners to improve patient selection, enrollment, and outcomes during a clinical trial . TrialEdge™ allows your PIs to communicate everyday to identify problems earlier and take corrective action sooner resulting in lower trial costs. TrialEdge™ builds on the success of Syndicom’s collaborative community platform with members from institutions such as the Texas Back Institute, Cleveland Clinic, and Rothman Institute.

How does it work?

TrialEdge™ is used throughout the clinical trial process. Participating surgeons across multiple trial sites post preoperative images to a TrialEdge™ group for review by the PIs to ensure the patient fits the inclusion/exclusion criteria, and strictly adheres to the protocols. Any problems that emerge can be quickly identified, resolved, and disseminated to the investigators through the TrialEdge™ group. In addition, principal investigators and company representatives can use TrialEdge™ to monitor the progress of the trial.

All the cases submitted eventually become a part of a vast knowledgebase for education and training purposes. At a time when medical device companies are under tremendous pressure to meet regulatory requirements, improve patient care, and reduce the time it takes to develop devices and take them to market, TrialEdge™ gives companies a way to accelerate the clinical trial process, reduce trial costs, and produce a higher quality trial.

The Benefits: Superior Patient Selection, Faster Enrollment, and Better Outcomes

• Ensure a more homogenous patient dataset by giving PIs the ability to proactively select patients
• Reject those patients which are on the edge or fringe of the inclusion/exclusion criteria before being admitted to the trial
• Identify problems sooner and take corrective action earlier to reduce trial costs through instantaneous communication
• Build a knowledgebase of teaching cases for future education, training, and marketing purposes
• Provide an educational forum for the improvement of patient outcomes by providing real-time feedback to investigators
• Gain insight into your device by reviewing preoperative, postoperative, and exclusionary cases
