Parexel Teams with CLARINESS to Enhance Patient Access and Engagement in China

June 12, 2019 Off By BusinessWire

Collaboration expands Parexel’s capabilities in the region for
patient access through China’s native social media channels; enhances
ongoing engagement through CLARINESS’s digital patient recruitment portal

BOSTON–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Parexel, a leader in the development of innovative new therapies to
improve the world’s health, today announced a strategic partnership with
CLARINESS, a leading global patient recruitment company, to further
accelerate clinical trial recruitment and patient engagement in China.
The alliance will combine the strength of CLARINESS’ ClinLife® patient
portal with Parexel’s extensive local expertise in Asia/Pacific to more
efficiently and effectively recruit and retain clinical trial patients
in China.

“In China today, digital platforms have become a dominant form of
communication, with more than 770 million internet users reported in the
country; however, many foreign companies are unable to obtain necessary
licenses for compliance to reach these audiences. With our
well-established ClinLife platform, Parexel customers will have the
opportunity to leverage these effective channels for engagement with
patients and clinical trial recruitment,” said Michael Stadler,
CLARINESS CEO.

Gadi Saarony, Executive Vice President and Chief Clinical Research
Services Officer, Parexel, added, “Parexel’s local expertise and
understanding of the Chinese drug development market combined with
CLARINESS’ ClinLife digital platform will enable us to reach more
patients in China and engage with them through their preferred channels
and language while maintaining local compliance. Ultimately this will
improve their clinical trial experience while helping to accelerate new
therapies to market to the benefit of our customers and patients.”

Celebrating 20 years of presence in Greater China, Parexel has eight
offices and over 1,400 employees in the country, as well as more than
8,000 employees in the Asia/Pacific region. CLARINESS has been helping
sponsors find patients in Asia since 2005. In addition to providing
licensed access to China’s native social media channels, CLARINESS’
services are enhanced through their ability to leverage native speakers
to screen and survey patients for potentially underdiagnosed conditions.
