Smart Patients teams up with Colon Cancer Alliance to gain access to clinical trial search tool

Smart Patients, a patient community founded by a former Google health strategist Roni Zeiger and Gilles Frydman, the president of the Association of Cancer Online Resources, has teamed up with the Colon Cancer Alliance. The move is designed to help Smart Patient members identify and locate appropriate clinical trials. The collaboration highlights a couple of pain points in drug development - the difficulty in finding clinical trials convenient to work and home and the challenge of finding the most appropriate patients for these studies.
