Walgreens Clinical Trials

Nationwide reach, neighborhood focus

 

Bringing clinical trials to communities we already serve

 

Trial participation with patients in mind

Walgreens Clinical Trials is committed to making clinical trials more accessible, convenient, and equitable for the 78% of Americans who live within five miles of a Walgreens.

 

We designed our clinical trial services to benefit a range of stakeholders. Wherever you fall in the healthcare landscape, we have created the ideal blend of technology, personal connection, and flexible virtual, hybrid, or in-person care capabilities required to deliver on your clinical trial needs.

Community Access

Community Access

Our extensive community partnerships and owned footprint with 9M patients served daily and 96M active myWalgreens members to identify and engage the right patients for clinical trials.

Participant Proximity

Participant Proximity

Our existing footprint provides access to a large and diverse population. Tapping into these local markets, combined with our physical locations improves our ability to recruit underrepresented populations that have not had access to clinical trials.

Customer Trust

Customer Trust

Our highly trusted and respected brand fosters strong relationships with local communities. By understanding the voices of our customers and patients, we can provide personalization and empowerment at every step of the clinical trial journey.

Trial Flexibility

Clinical trials are complex and require multi-disciplinary and multi-modal options. Flexible in-person, virtual, at-home, or hybrid trial formats enable easy participation for patients without disrupting their daily lives and reduce patient dropout rates in trials.

Accelerated Recruitment

Our insights-driven approach to finding the right patients with speed and precision can rapidly connect trials to many more patients than ever before.

Safety & Compliance

A new and unique operating model with a foundation of a strong compliance framework and high-quality trial data which meets evidence regulatory requirements.

Our Vision

We are fundamentally changing the paradigm for the patient experience in clinical trials. Building on our nationwide neighborhood presence, we will educate and empower communities to drive a diverse population to participate in trials.  Our ability to understand patients’ everyday needs and provide an experience they can understand, is the hallmark of our approach so we can create a more equitable clinical research enterprise.
