Case Study: Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai achieves faster clinical trial patient recruitment with Clinithink CLiX ENRICH

Mount Sinai Prospective Trial in Patient Group With Diabetic Nephropathy

The Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai faced a significant challenge in patient recruitment for a clinical trial, as their manual process had successfully enrolled only one patient over four months. To address this costly and inefficient bottleneck, they partnered with Clinithink and implemented its CLiX ENRICH product, which was designed to automate the review of unstructured clinical data.

Clinithink's solution used its CLiX natural language processing engine to read over half a million documents in just 15 hours, a task that would have taken 6,325 person-days manually. This process identified 109 highly eligible patients, 97 of whom were verified as ideal candidates. This allowed Mount Sinai to project enrolling 13 patients, a massive improvement that was achieved in two weeks instead of four months, demonstrating Clinithink's transformative impact on recruitment efficiency.
