Responsum Health to Support Patient Recruitment for Clinical Trials
New initiative to raise clinical trial awareness and help connect patients with trial doctors
[WASHINGTON, D.C., Aug. 25, 2022] — Today, Responsum Health (Responsum), a leading developer of innovative patient engagement platforms, announced an exciting initiative to raise clinical trial awareness and support patient recruitment for patients with chronic cough and retinitis pigmentosa.
Responsum Health will provide clinical trial information and will identify, engage, and pre-screen potential participants for two Phase 2 clinical trials sponsored by Aldeyra Therapeutics. The first clinical trial is testing ADX-629 in patients with chronic cough and the second is testing ADX-2191 in patients with retinitis pigmentosa.
Retinitis pigmentosa (RP) is an inherited retinal disease that leads to a progressive degeneration of photoreceptors. Chronic cough is a persistent cough that lasts 8 weeks or longer. Chronic cough has been associated with autoimmune disease and neurogenic inflammation, or localized inflammation in the central and peripheral nervous systems. Early studies suggest that reactive aldehyde species (RASP), which are reactive molecules that disrupt cell function and lead to inflammation, may be elevated in patients with chronic cough.
Responsum plans to start by engaging its 22,000+ community of patients that have already joined the Responsum communities, many of whom suffer from chronic diseases.
“We are looking forward to collaborating with Aldeyra to help recruit patients for these important Phase 2 clinical trials,” said Responsum Health Founder and CEO Andrew Rosenberg. “Trial recruitment is an area of growing expertise and accomplishment for Responsum, and it represents an exciting new avenue for growth for our company.”
