Medix’s Phase 2 Clinical Trial Staffing Solutions Restored Momentum for a Biotech Study

Boston’s research corridor is one of the most competitive environments in the country, where dozens of clinical trials fight for patients, staff, and attention. In the middle of this race, a neurotechnology and clinical-stage biotech company launched a pivotal Phase 2 study at a memory care site. The science showed promise, but progress hinged on something less glamorous: the day-to-day execution of patient visits, documentation, and scheduling. With enrollment numbers slipping and trial staff stretched thin, the company faced a pressing question — how could they keep the study moving at the pace their timeline demanded?

About the Client

• East Coast–based medical technology organization pioneering non-invasive neuromodulation therapies
• Specializes in advancing treatments for neurodegenerative diseases and improving human cognitive performance

The Challenge

Even with promising science and a strong research site, the trial struggled to keep pace. The team was spread across competing priorities — patient scheduling, visit coordination, and documentation — and simply didn’t have the bandwidth to manage enrollment at the level required. Operating in one of the most competitive research corridors in the country compounded the challenge, as skilled clinical professionals had no shortage of opportunities and were difficult to secure. Without added support, timelines for the Phase 2 program were at risk, and the study’s momentum was slipping.

The client needed more than résumés in their inbox — they needed a partner who could act quickly and deliver the right support. That’s when they turned to Medix.
