The Advocate Health National Center for Clinical Trials is setting a new benchmark for excellence and innovation in clinical trial solutions. Our goal is simple yet bold: We connect researchers to a broad population of patients and streamline the enrollment process, delivering more inclusive cohorts and more efficient clinical trials. And we make it easy for patients to engage in clinical trials in their own communities.
From recruitment, enrollment and retention to trial administration and follow-up, at the Advocate Health National Center for Clinical Trials, we offer an integrated infrastructure designed for clinical trials. This one-stop shop includes a single institutional review board (IRB), two instances of Epic in a modern data platform and enterprise-wide clinical trials management systems.

Using AI-powered matching and dropout models, our unified electronic health record (EHR) platform connects with our centralized recruitment and retention platform to help match patients to suitable trials and targeted outreach to keep them engaged. And, to enable you to integrate this data into everyday care, you’ll receive detailed reports featuring real-time insights.

Our advanced data capabilities are equipped to generate commercially valuable real-world data and evidence that inform smarter and inclusive clinical trials, giving us the power to optimize patient groups, trial protocols and overall trial design.


Trials are key to comprehensive care, and we’re working to make them accessible to patients everywhere. Learn more about clinical trials in your state to get started.
