Case Study

Home Visits For A Phase I Cystic Fibrosis Study

Lightship partnered with a small biopharmaceutical company to extend the reach of five existing trial sites by conducting study visits in participants’ home, as part of a hybrid approach. Lightship’s nurses performed the following assessments: vital checks, physical exam, lab draws, ePROs, concomitant medication and adverse event review​.

Key Outcomes:

  • 92 visits completed for 21 enrolled patients by Lightship employed research nurses
  • 100% patient retention and patient satisfaction for visits conducted in the home with high quality patient care delivered by the same nurses for the duration of the study
  • 100% investigator satisfaction for investigators providing oversight for home visits
  • 2X as many patients enrolled at sites offering the option of offsite visits compared to sites offering only in-clinic visits
Home Visit

The patient care delivered by Lightship nurses and collaboration with the wider study team were excellent. All visits were conducted in a highly professional and detailed manner. Kudos on your great team communication skills – it has been a pleasure to work with Lightship.”
