CLINVANA is a clinical trial participation system consultancy that helps sponsors and sites close the gap between the trial as designed and the trial as lived by patients. Built on The Human Protocol™, CLINVANA's proprietary methodology treats enrollment and retention as a participation system design problem, not simply a recruitment or reach problem. The company works across protocol design, site enablement, and patient and caregiver engagement to reduce screen failure, improve retention, and keep studies on timeline. CLINVANA is not a CRO nor a technology platform, it is the layer that makes the systems sponsors already have work the way they were meant to.
