A multinational food company needed to assess the safety and efficacy of rice vinegar as a treatment for pre-hypertensive adults, and those at high risk of Cardiovascular disease.

Cardiology

Challenge

A multinational food company needed to assess the safety and efficacy of rice vinegar for the treatment of prehypertension. They needed to enroll a representative population—in particular, Black Americans, who are more likely to suffer from high blood pressure.

Solution

  • Site selection in large city centers, combined with targeted digital recruitment, supported diverse enrollment.
  • Hybrid study design minimized site visits to reduce travel time, encouraging more people to participate.
  • BYOD ePRO enabled remote data capture. Automated alerts and reminders encouraged compliance.

Study Design

  • Hybrid
  • Digital Recruitment
  • Virtual Patient Training
  • Virtual Site Team (COACH)
  • BYOD ePRO
  • eConsent
  • Remote Patient Monitoring

Results

• Successful recruitment of a diverse population: 41% Caucasian, 39% African American, 20% "other race."
• Minimization of site visits via remote monitoring, facilitated the collection of 56,286 data points which were reviewed in real time.
• The virtual team’s regular engagement with participants helped to achieve an 89% retention rate.
