Trial sponsors need partners who can flex the traditional research model, not reinvent it

RxE2 is fundamentally revolutionizing how clinical trials are conducted by utilizing, for the first time ever, community pharmacies equipped with dedicated clinical spaces, private consultation rooms, and facilities to serve as trial sites. Powered by our cutting-edge technology, we spearhead the movement toward community-based clinical trials by leveraging expansive community pharmacy access to ensure equitable access to groundbreaking treatments across every community.

The Challenge: Why Traditional Trials Fall Short

Clinical research has long operated under the “80/20 Problem,” where approximately 80% of research happens at academic medical centers (AMCs), yet 80% of healthcare treatment occurs in the community setting. This disconnect creates systemic barriers for both sponsors and patients:

Industry
Struggles

Recruitment Failure:

50% of trials fail to recruit enough patients.

Site Fatigue:

41% of sites report shortage of PIs, 60% with CRC (Clinical Research Coordinators), creating burden and delays. Travel Barrier: 62% of patients said travel stopped them from participating.

Competition & Low Engagement:

Sites often compete for the same limited patient pool, and low engagement drives high dropout rates. Poor Diversity: Trials clustered in academic centers result in underrepresentation across race, ethnicity, and rural groups.

Awareness Gap:

Many patients do not know clinical trials are an option. Uncontacted Patients: 15% of patients reported they were not contacted by traditional sites.

Limited Reach:

Only ~5% of patients live near a traditional research site.

Travel Barrier:

62% of patients said travel stopped them from participating.

Poor Diversity:

Trials clustered in academic centers result in underrepresentation across race, ethnicity, and rural groups.

Uncontacted Patients:

The RxE2 Solution:
Unlocking Community Trust

RxE2 bridges the gap between your trials and thousands of community pharmacies. By integrating trusted community pharmacists into clinical research, we improve access, diversity, retention, and efficiency.

The Ideal Setting

RxE2 is built on the foundation of the community pharmacy because it provides the ideal setting for decentralized research:

Trusted Link:

Patients consistently rank pharmacists among the most trusted healthcare

professionals.

This trusted relationship is the key to unlocking community-based trials.

Patient Receptivity:

75% of patients are mostly or always receptive to hearing about clinical trials from their pharmacist.

Accessibility:

Pharmacies are highly accessible; 9 out of 10 Americans live within 5 miles of one.

High Engagement:

Patients visit their pharmacy ~35 times per year vs. only a few visits to primary care, making it an integral part of their daily healthcare routine.

Unprecedented Access

Our platform provides access to a massive, underserved patient population:

20,000 Local Independent Pharmacies (US).

Access to 80,000,000 potential patients.

Pharmacists have deep knowledge of patient health, medications, and adherence patterns, supporting retention and trust.

The Community Pharmacy Site Network Infrastructure

RxE2 transforms the community pharmacy into a fully scalable clinical site, leveraging technology to ensure compliance and efficiency.

Site Functionality and Scalability

We utilize a Hub-and-spoke model where one lead pharmacy is supported by a network of referral pharmacies, allowing scale to happen within the existing network without costly closures and restarts.

As a Community Pharmacy Site, locations can offer comprehensive solutions, including:
