ImmunityBio and nCartes Enter Collaboration Agreement on Clinical Trial Data Fulfillment
ImmunityBio (NASDAQ: IBRX) and nCartes have entered a collaboration agreement to automate and streamline clinical trial data fulfillment processes. The partnership aims to replace manual data entry into Electronic Data Capture (EDC) systems with direct digital information transfer from electronic medical record (EMR) systems. This automation initiative is designed to make the process faster, more cost-effective, and reduce potential errors in data entry. The collaboration seeks to improve data quality and reduce the time required for source data verification, potentially accelerating the timeline for bringing therapies to market.
ImmunityBio (NASDAQ: IBRX) e nCartes hanno siglato un accordo di collaborazione per automatizzare e semplificare i processi di raccolta dei dati nelle sperimentazioni cliniche. L'obiettivo della partnership è quello di sostituire l'immissione manuale dei dati nei sistemi di acquisizione elettronica dei dati (EDC) con un trasferimento diretto delle informazioni digitali dai sistemi di cartelle cliniche elettroniche (EMR). Questa iniziativa di automazione è progettata per rendere il processo più veloce, più economico e per ridurre i potenziali errori nell'inserimento dei dati. La collaborazione mira a migliorare la qualità dei dati e a ridurre i tempi necessari per la verifica dei dati sorgente, accelerando potenzialmente il processo di immissione sul mercato delle terapie.

Insights
This collaboration with nCartes represents an operational efficiency improvement in clinical trial data management, but its immediate financial impact is While automating data collection could potentially accelerate trial timelines and reduce costs, the benefits will materialize gradually across ImmunityBio's trial portfolio. The shift from manual to automated EMR-to-EDC data transfer addresses a significant pain point in clinical research, potentially reducing errors and speeding up data verification.
The key value proposition lies in the potential to accelerate time-to-market for ImmunityBio's therapies by streamlining data collection and verification. However, this represents an incremental operational improvement rather than a transformative catalyst. The partnership may yield modest cost savings in data entry and verification, but these are likely to be relatively small compared to overall trial costs.
The vast majority of clinical trials today gather data manually at clinical research sites. The data is then entered by hand into Electronic Data Capture (EDC) systems used by clinical trial sponsors. This process is time-consuming, costly, and creates the potential for errors that can further delay trial results. This new collaboration will instead rely on using digital information available in source electronic medical record (EMR) systems to directly populate EDC systems.
"ImmunityBio's innovations in immunotherapies for cancer and infectious diseases depend on getting timely and accurate data from our many ongoing clinical trials," said Richard Adcock, President and CEO of ImmunityBio. "The EMR-to-EDC capability nCartes provides will transform this process, reducing delays and enabling us to potentially bring important therapies to market faster."
Automating the process also will help to reduce data entry mistakes and thereby improves data quality, which also materially reduces the cost and elapsed time required for source data verification.
"ImmunityBio is doing incredible work with its novel immune system-based therapeutics and vaccines, and has an aggressive clinical trial program," said John S. McIlwain, CEO of nCartes. "The nCartes team is honored to have this opportunity to work alongside the ImmunityBio team and their research sites to potentially materially improve the crucial data collection aspect of those trials."

About ImmunityBio
ImmunityBio is a vertically-integrated biotechnology company developing next-generation therapies and vaccines that bolster the natural immune system to defeat cancers and infectious diseases. The company's range of immunotherapy and cell therapy platforms, alone and together, act to drive and sustain an immune response with the goal of creating durable and safe protection against disease. Designated an FDA Breakthrough Therapy, ANKTIVA® is the first FDA-approved immunotherapy for non-muscle invasive bladder cancer CIS that activates natural killer cells, T cells, and memory T cells for a long-duration response. The company is applying its science and platforms to treating cancers, including the development of potential cancer vaccines, as well as developing immunotherapies and cell therapies that we believe sharply reduce or eliminate the need for standard high-dose chemotherapy. These platforms and their associated product candidates are designed to be more effective, accessible, and easily administered than current standards of care in oncology and infectious diseases.
