Dublin-based start-up launches digital platform for organising clinical trials

Wirano revolutionizes the organization of clinical trials by accelerating the start-up of trials and optimizing patient recruitment.

Dublin, Ireland – 22 October 2020 – A Dublin-based tech start-up today announced the launch of Wirano – a digital platform for the rapid and effective organization of clinical trials. The platform aims to revolutionize the activities involved in clinical trials by accelerating the start-up of trials, optimizing patient recruitment, and improving site and investigator selection processes.

Wirano development in clinical trials

"The enormous cost of clinical trials in terms of time, money, and effort is well known. The average clinical trial process lasts between 7.5 and 12 years, with costs ranging from $161M - $2.6B per drug. Yet despite this investment, the success rate of clinical trials is just 14% (1)," said Noel Quinn, Commercial Director. "Wirano aims to improve this rate of success by optimizing the patient recruitment process, improving site selection procedures, and creating reliable channels for effective communications between all participants."

One of the major challenges is searching for and selecting patients for trials, so 50% of all planned trials do not achieve recruitment targets on time. Up to 11% of all trials do not recruit a single patient. The organizers of clinical trials often find it difficult to select a research center with reliable data on previous experience and patient enrollment. The lack of a single database of centers from different countries and ineffective and reliable communication channels with research teams further aggravate the situation. Wirano is designed to allow all clinical trial participants, including pharmaceutical companies, medical researchers, and patients, to communicate throughout the process effectively.

Wirano will significantly optimize the process as pharmaceutical companies (sponsors) will be able to select research teams in different countries quickly, doctors will be able to quickly post information about clinical trials for patients and start recruiting, and patients will have the possibility of finding a suitable clinical trial in a matter of minutes and apply for participation in it.

Wirano is the brainchild of a team of international experts in clinical research and is based in Dublin. The project has completed pre-seed financing and is currently seeking investors to realize its platform's revolutionary powerfully.
