Ensuring clinical trial access is more equitable and available for all patients has been our mission since we founded Paradigm. For the rural and community patients, clinical trial access is an imperative . In the rural communities stretching across North Dakota and Minnesota, accessing oncology #clinicaltrials can be challenging. Paradigm partnered with Altru Health System to increase clinical trial participation across their 225k patients in rural North Dakota and Minnesota. We’re thrilled to be able to share that this collaboration increased patient participation in clinical trials from 4% to 11% of the total cancer population, well above the national average for oncology programs, across Altru’s massive rural service area in North Dakota and Minnesota. This means that more patients received access to interventional clinical trials as part of their routine care. This was accomplished by increasing pre-screening and simplifying the enrollment process, while simultaneously reducing Altru staff burden through effective use of the Paradigm platform and clinical services. A step-change in clinical trial participation acts as both an equalizer between rural and urban care, and an accelerating force for the broader research and development ecosystem, ultimately increasing the potential for more patients to benefit from new trials today and accelerating bringing new treatments to market. We’re grateful for Altru’s partnership in this effort and proud to serve their patient community.

Those are some solid numbers, Kent. Congrats to the team and the partnership. Well done and very meaningful for cancer patients.
Congratulations Kent Thoelke 🏳️🌈 to you, Jay Trepanier MBA, CPA and the rest of your team. We share in supporting this mission. Transformation across drug development and healthcare at large is needed. Best of luck with your continued progress.
This collaboration between Paradigm and Altru Health System is truly inspiring. It's incredible to see how targeted strategies can make such a significant impact on clinical trial participation in rural areas. Could you share more about the specific methods used to simplify the enrollment process?
I am so impressed! Honored to know you a little bit and can see how the apple does not fall far from the tree.
