Right-In-Time Clinical Trials

Caris Life Sciences Right-In-Time clinical trial network eliminates repetitive contracting, feasibility and site qualification activities so providers can focus on treating their patients, rather than the administrative burden of clinical trial start-up. The Caris team works with the site to develop, review and submit required regulatory paperwork and documentation.

With more than 20 years of oncology clinical trial experience, Caris right-in-time is a research system designed to rapidly identify and enroll patients into clinical trials in about two weeks, and as little as five days. With a robust portfolio of clinical trials with leading biopharmaceutical companies, this innovative system reduces the burden on research facilities and physicians while increasing patient access to a larger number of potential treatment options.

Clinical Trials

Caris’ Clinical Trial Navigators (CTNs) are a team of registered nurses specially trained to identify and pre-screen patients for oncology clinical trials. CTNs match patient’s biomarker results to clinical trials through Caris MI Trials program.  Our hands-on service includes trial matching, screening for eligibility, and navigating trial logistics to connect patients immediately to the nearest open study site.  If a patient isn’t ready to enroll in a clinical trial the CTN works with the oncologist to track patients for when the clinical trial therapy is needed.

•Based on results of molecular testing, the Caris RIT system quickly matches patients to potential clinical trials and then accelerates site activation for patient enrollment at the local institution, right in the patient’s community. Molecular testing information from any provider may be used to identify potential trial opportunities. The process is supercharged with molecular testing performed by Caris Life Sciences because of the seamless integration of molecular data.

PATIENT-TRIAL MATCH PROCESS

Day 1

Caris Comprehensive Genomic Profiling performed on patient.

Day 2

Clinical Trial Navigator determines patient-trial match and contacts physician for matched right-in-time clinical trial.

Day 3-12

Local right-in-time site activation.

Day 13-14

Patient enrolled in local clinical trial.

Studies have demonstrated that continuity of care has a direct positive correlation to outcomes. Patients within the Caris right-in-time oncology network gain access to innovative molecular diagnostics while remaining in the care of their current local treatment team. Continuity of care assists in eliminating the added stressors of extended travel times to clinical trial sites and unfamiliarity of new health care providers.

The Caris right-in-time network provides immediate access to a trial registry at provides over 610 locations in the United States and Puerto Rico. Site registration and regulatory documentation are streamlined accelerating trial activation in as little as 14 days. This patient centric approach also allows the patient to remain under the care of their treating oncologist and eliminates the burden of travel for the patient.
