RALEIGH, N.C., January 3, 2024 (Newswire.com) – Carebox, a leading provider of clinical trial matching solutions, and the Gastric Cancer Foundation (GCF) — a results-driven national non-profit dedicated to improving the lives of people affected by gastric cancer and working with leading researchers to find a cure — today announced the launch of the GCF Clinical Trial Finder.
The new web application gives patients, caregivers, and healthcare professionals an easy and effective way to search and match to gastric cancer clinical trials. Patients or caregivers can complete a questionnaire online for their specific gastric cancer and then instantly see which clinical trials are potentially relevant for them. They can then get connected to a trial site for the next steps.
Alternatively, GCF Clinical Trial Finder clinical trial navigators are available over the phone or email to help with the clinical trial search/matching process and then to help patients and caregivers take the next step with nearby research centers or hospitals where the clinical trials are taking place.
The GCF Clinical Trial Finder trial database is synchronized daily with the ClinicalTrials.gov clinical trial data maintained by the National Library of Medicine (NLM) at the National Institutes of Health (NIH). Applying its human-supervised AI, Carebox converts the unstructured text in ClinicalTrials.gov that describes eligibility criteria for enrollment, into a searchable index of clinical criteria for matching with patient characteristics.
“Our partnership with Carebox adds an important dimension to our research, education, and advocacy goals. The GCF Clinical Trial Finder makes the latest gastric cancer treatment options more accessible to our community.”
-Stacie Hershman, Executive Director, Gastric Cancer Foundation
Access to the new web application is available from the Gastric Cancer Foundation website, which also features a Carebox “embedded widget” to allow visitors to request a phone or email appointment with a clinical trial navigator without leaving the website.
As Stacie Hershman, the Executive Director for GCF explains, “Gastric Cancer Foundation provides hope and support for thousands of patients across the United States and around the world. Our mission is straightforward: to find a cure for gastric cancer. Our partnership with Carebox adds an important dimension to our research, education, and advocacy goals. The GCF Clinical Trial Finder makes the latest gastric cancer treatment options more accessible to our community.”
As Assaf Levi, VP of Engineering at Carebox notes, “Carebox Connect is the most comprehensive platform available for connecting patients to the treatment options in clinical trials. All the applications, services, modules, and product offerings have a common technology foundation that gives us flexibility to work with every partner in alignment with their preferences and focus.”
Assaf further explains: “The GCF Clinical Trial Finder is a GCF-branded website, but it’s also a specialized extension to Salesforce™ CRM to allow Carebox clinical trial navigators to support patients and caregivers seamlessly across online and call center services. It’s a referral management solution to ensure patients get connected effectively to research sites. It’s an analytics solution that gives GCF insights into its community’s patient populations and treatment needs to shape the evolution of their programs. And its embedded widget technology makes this an integral part of CGF’s own website. We couldn’t be prouder to partner with and support GCF in its mission to help find a cure for gastric cancer.”
