ObvioHealth, a global digital clinical trials company, has announced a new strategic investment from Guardant Health, Inc., a leader in precision oncology providing liquid and tissue biopsy tests. This partnership enhances ObvioHealth’s oncology expertise and streamlines the deployment of oncology clinical trials, a field that accounts for over 40% of global trials. The investment concludes ObvioHealth’s Series B extension, bringing the total to USD $18.4 million.
This development follows the launch of ObvioGo® 2.0, a second-generation digital clinical trial platform designed to automate and streamline workflows for trial sites. The partnership grants ObvioHealth access to a vast network of hospitals and research centers, while Guardant Health benefits from ObvioGo®'s capabilities to facilitate clinical trials across all stages of cancer, reducing site workflow disruptions.
“ObvioHealth sees tremendous opportunity in this partnership,” said Ivan Jarry, CEO of ObvioHealth. Anand Tharmaratnam, Board Observer at ObvioHealth, added, “Guardant’s network of researchers allows us to further penetrate the oncology field and expand our research beyond the 35 countries where we currently operate.”
ObvioGo® offers a validated environment with automated study design and configuration, recruitment performance dashboards, and a comprehensive suite of tools for eConsent, electronic clinical outcomes assessments (eCOA), electronic patient-reported outcomes (ePRO), and electronic medical record (EMR) data integration. The platform is integrated with Oracle’s electronic data capture (EDC) and clinical trial management system (CTMS) software, providing automated data management, formatting, and reporting capabilities.
Guardant Health joins ObvioHealth’s strategic partners, which include Dedalus, Novotech, and Oracle.
