Our take
Through a network of distributed clinical research sites, on-demand popup sites, mobile infrastructure, and traveling clinical professionals, Care Access allows for decentralized clinical trials - especially in underserved communities.
Decentralized and virtually managed trials exploded in popularity during the height of the pandemic, and now they look set to stay. Care Access, that was established before this boom, is hence in a strong position to lead the way as this type of trial becomes more mainstream.
The company acquired IBPClin, a clinical trial center in Brazil, in 2022. This highlights its intention to grow in South America as well as at home in the US. On top of this, it has opened a new clinical research site in Poland, in another move towards establishing a global presence.
