Other prominent start-ups in the space include Science 37, a full-service virtual trial platform, and Unlearn.AI, a service that creates digital twins of patients to expand data sets. In April, Unlearn.A1 received $12 million in Series A financing led by 8VC.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration also helped clear the path to virtual trials in March by issuing guidelines for clinical studies during the pandemic that included “evaluating alternative methods for assessments, like phone contacts or virtual visits, and offering additional safety monitoring for those trial participants who may no longer have access to investigational product or the investigational site.”
