FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

About Verana Trial Connect

What is Verana Trial Connect?

Verana Trial Connect is a powerful cloud-based application that leverages data in clinical data registries to facilitate physician awareness of certain clinical trial opportunities and provide physicians and trial investigators a curated list of their own practice patients that may qualify for trials offered on the platform. Practices contributing to the American Academy of Ophthalmology IRIS® Registry (Intelligent Research in Sight) or the American Academy of Neurology’s Axon Registry® may be eligible to participate in Verana Trial Connect.

For Clinicians

How does Verana Trial Connect help patients with rare conditions? 

Verana Trial Connect provides physicians with a curated list of their own practice patients that may qualify for a trial offered on the platform. Eligible patients may have the option to participate in the clinical trial and will be reimbursed by the sponsor for any travel expenses related to trial participation. Select trial opportunities also offer no-cost genetic testing to qualifying patients.

For Trial Investigators

How does Verana Trial Connect help me recruit patients for clinical trials?

Verana Trial Connect streamlines patient recruitment and engagement for certain clinical trials by enabling investigators to identify patients in their own practice with high potential for study recruitment based on trial inclusion and exclusion criteria. Only you will have access to your data, patient list, and patient information, and only you will be able to communicate directly with your patients.

Data Privacy

Physicians and practices contribute their EHR data to their medical society’s clinical data registry. Verana Health operates as a business associate that assists these registries by improving data quality and de-identifying the data. The anonymized data is used to create the Verana Health data platform, which uses only de-identified data to perform research and analytics. Under HIPAA, healthcare providers, as covered entities, may share PHI with partners, in this case the society’s clinical data registry, for treatment, payment, or healthcare operations (“TPO”).

All data used for Verana Trial Connect are stored securely in HIPAA-compliant cloud servers.

Only you will be able to see your data and patient list. Your personal data and that of your patients are not shared with any outside entity without your express consent.

Only you have access to the information of your patients. Verana Health does not communicate directly with your patients. The genetic counseling provider will receive patient information and contact your patients only upon your referral and your confirmation of patient consent. 

Logistics
