By partnering with oncologists, research staff, and patients to unlock the full potential of every patientās data, N-Power Medicine is expanding access to clinical trials and enabling unprecedented insights for biopharmaceutical drug development.
āThe average oncology drug takes 10 years to go from development to market, and eight of those years are typically spent in clinical trials. Todayās clinical trial paradigm is very inefficient at the centers that run trials and out of reach for the majority of oncologists and their patients in the community,ā said Mark Lee, M.D., Ph.D, N-Power Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer. āOur vision is to radically accelerate drug development timelines through a new model where every oncologist and cancer patient can readily participate in advancing drug development. In the end we believe this is what patients will benefit from most.ā
āAt the Merck Global Health Innovation Fund we are focused on partnering with innovative companies such as N-Power that facilitate and optimize biopharmaceutical operations with the goal of improving patient care,ā said David M. Rubin, Ph.D., Managing Director, Merck Global Health Innovation Fund, āN-Powerās unique approach offers the important opportunity to expand clinical research to more oncologists and their patients through standardized data collection, actionable insights, and the time and resources to participate in a model of accelerated drug development.ā
N-Power Medicine’s platform consists of three fundamental components: The Kaleidoā¢ Registry, and The point of care technology, On-site and virtual experts
āN-Power is working to solve major challenges for oncologists: managing electronic medical records, finding patients for clinical trials, and reporting requirements for CMS,ā said Barbara L. McAneny, MD, FASCO, MACP, founder and Chief Executive Officer of the New Mexico Cancer Center in Albuquerque and Gallup and Past President of the American Medical Association. āUsing N-Powerās āsuperscribesā enables cancer doctors to focus more on patients, as the N-Power Staff manages the chart and consents the patient to join the registry. The registry allows us to find the trial candidates and send the required reports. The collaboration has been valuable.ā
