Ripple Science today announced their partnership with Lakeside Life Science, a diagnostic research organization that is performing a clinical study to determine antibodies using Medsentials COVID-19 IgG/IGM Rapid Test Cassette. With 11.6 Million cases and over 500,000 deaths worldwide, the public health crisis that is COVID-19 has accelerated organizations to adopt technology like Ripple, which shorten time-to-market for biopharma solutions.

Ripple is a web-based platform designed for clinical research teams who want a secure and streamlined way to recruit, manage, and retain patients for trials. Ripple is a purpose-built CRM and project manager which organizes clinical trial recruiting and research efforts, leading to valuable time and cost savings. Medsentials test is already available for high-complexity CLIA certified labs. Lakesides study will be validating the test in a clinical setting. Paul Allard, COO of Lakeside Life Science, explained how Ripple helps with a very short timeline: Ripple is streamlining the whole clinical study process for us. Our timeline for this study is incredibly short. Normally we need four to six months for study start up and 18 months to enroll patients. Our goal is to complete this entire study under a month and a half.

Allard anticipates a follow-on study to determine how long a person has the antibodies. Lakeside, an expert in testing validation, has confirmed that Medsentials IgM/IgG antibody test outperform antibody tests from well-known industry healthcare providers. Allard said, In moving to a long-term study, we want high confidence in our antibody testing solution and are delighted at Medsentials results and how easy the tests are to use.

Lakeside is using Ripple to quickly recruit and track patients from small, underserved community centers that dont have access to standard testing or the tools to manage clinical studies. Patients from these small centers can benefit from access to testing and are more representative of the general population.

Clinical studies are known for their complex nature beginning with recruiting patients to continual patient engagement, especially for follow-up months after the study commences. Chiao-ih Hui, COO for Medsential, is pleased that many of the study complexities are being removed. I love that Ripple is making this highly involved and complex clinical process easier and streamlined. This will accelerate and provide a model for getting our solution to point-of-care settings and to vulnerable populations who have the most need for these solutions.

President and CEO of Ripple Science, Peter Falzon commented, With COVID-19, the way we conduct clinical trials has changed and there is a heightened sense of urgency. The team at Ripple Science is dedicated to enabling clinical research teams to work remotely and adopt virtual research methods, while boosting recruitment and retention.
