ObvioHealth and RedHill Biopharma Remote COVID-19 Therapy Trial Incorporating At-home Patient Monitoring
ObvioHealth, a global virtual research organization, has announced the launch of a hybrid clinical trial for the treatment of COVID-19, using a study design with digital data capture to remotely monitor patient vitals. This US Phase II/III study will examine the safety and efficacy of RedHill Biopharma’s RHB-107 (upamostat), using ObvioHealth’s clinical trial ecosystem, including digital devices, a patient-centric smartphone application and home healthcare visits.
RHB-107 is an orally-administered serine protease inhibitor with antiviral and potential tissue-protective effects which targets human cells rather than the virus itself and is expected to be effective against new viral strains. The two-part randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled hybrid U.S. Phase II/III study is enrolling more than 300 patients with symptomatic COVID-19, who do not require hospital care, to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of RHB-107.
Patients will be sent home with RHB-107 and five 510(k)-cleared devices to begin treatment. ObvioHealth’s platform is collecting both telemetric and patient-reported information; biomarkers continuously gathered from the devices will include patients’ temperature, respiratory and pulse rates, blood pressure, pulse oximetry, electrocardiogram (ECG) and weight.

The Rise of Predictive Engagement Tools in Clinical Trials
November 22nd 2024Patient attrition can be a significant barrier to the success of a randomized controlled trial (RCT). Today, with the help of AI-powered predictive engagement tools, clinical study managers are finding ways to proactively reduce attrition rates in RCTs, and increase the effectiveness of their trial. In this guide, we look at the role AI-powered patient engagement tools play in clinical research, from the problems they’re being used to solve to the areas and indications in which they’re being deployed.
