Enhancing Research Studies, Increasing Clinical Trial Opportunities at West Virginia Clinical and Translational Science Institute

The West Virginia Clinical and Translational Science Institute (WVCTSI), partnered with West Virginia University, had limited access to clinical trial opportunities and real-world data. Joining the TriNetX network in 2018 connected WVCTSI to more than 40 healthcare organizations and expanded trial-matching capabilities. TriNetX brought WVU researchers more than 200 clinical trial opportunities and helped generate 19 publications in a single year, including studies on COVID-19's impact on vulnerable populations; Director Wes Kimble noted the platform's data accuracy and usability significantly improved researcher productivity versus previous methods.

TriNetX is a federated real-world-data network where data stays behind each health system's firewall and is queried in place, used for cohort discovery and trial-site feasibility.

This sits in the Data Providers stage of the AI use-case lifecycle: Named examples from the real-world-data, claims and competitive-intelligence providers pharma AI systems are trained on, benchmarked against, or run inside of.
