Oncology Clinical Trials

Oncology trials don’t fail at the database. They fail between visits. Delve Health runs oncology trials end-to-end—sites, patients, data, and follow-through—so endpoints remain interpretable.

Delve Health combines CRO-style delivery with a real-time compliance operating system: site enablement, patient concierge follow-through, eCOA/ePRO, wearables, device logistics, and analysis readiness. We manage what happens between visits—where oncology endpoints are most likely to degrade.

Compliance focus

90–98%

Diary / ePRO completion (program-dependent)

Retention lift

2–3×

Improvement when follow-through is owned

Real-time oversight

Live

Risk surfaced early, not at DBL

Why Delve

Traditional CROs manage visits. Delve manages what happens between visits.

Oncology execution breaks down in the gaps: symptom burden, missed diaries, device friction, late follow-up, and silent missingness. We close those gaps with a single operating model that includes people, workflows, and real-time evidence trails.

Traditional CRO

Strong on project structure

  • Monitoring and reporting cadence
  • Vendor coordination and oversight
  • Site contact and issue routing
  • Standardized operating procedures

Risk: between-visit compliance and patient follow-through becomes fragmented across sites, tools, and busy teams.

CRO + point tools

More data, more fragmentation

  • Multiple vendors for eCOA, wearables, logistics
  • Data arrives late and disconnected
  • Gaps become “monitoring findings” later
  • Sites absorb the burden of follow-up

Risk: accountability is unclear; compliance becomes retrospective and expensive to fix.

Delve delivery model

Owned compliance + owned follow-through

  • Real-time visibility into adherence and missingness
  • Concierge team intervenes as issues appear
  • Device telemetry monitoring + rapid troubleshooting
  • Evidence trails for actions, escalations, and resolutions

Outcome: higher usable data yield, fewer deviations, lower site burden, and stronger retention.

How We Engage

Flexible delivery models—from prime execution to CRO integration.

Full-Service Oncology Delivery (Prime)

Delve leads study execution end-to-end with an oncology operating model built around compliance, retention, and real-time oversight. Specialty functions can be delivered directly or through Delve-led partners as scoped.

  • Start-up + site coordination
  • Patient operations + concierge follow-through
  • eCOA/wearables/logistics + live oversight

Hybrid With Your CRO

Keep your CRO for monitoring/EDC and plug Delve in as the compliance and patient execution layer. We reduce missingness, improve follow-through, and give your team live visibility.

  • Delve owns adherence + participant support
  • Telemetry monitoring + escalation pathways
  • Cleaner data at lock with fewer late fixes

Site Network Enablement

We support and activate site networks by offloading patient follow-up, device workflows, and operational burden—so sites can focus on care and enrollment.

  • Coordinator relief: reminders, rescheduling, training
  • Pre-screening support (as scoped)
  • Study-wide oversight dashboards for networks

Protocol-to-Analysis

End-to-end oncology delivery—mapped to what sponsors actually need.

“End-to-end” is not a slogan. It is a lifecycle with ownership and evidence trails—from protocol operationalization through analysis readiness and close-out.

Step 1

Protocol operationalization

  • SOA converted into executable workflows and visit windows
  • Risk register focused on oncology failure points
  • Escalation pathways and intervention rules defined
Delve-owned

Step 2

Feasibility + site network plan

  • Site/network strategy aligned to indication and burden
  • Start-up coordination and readiness tracking
  • Training and enablement workflows for sites
Delve-owned

Step 3

Recruitment support (as scoped)

  • Referral handling and pre-screening assistance
  • Patient outreach scripts and follow-up cadence
  • Escalation of qualified candidates to sites
Delve-led

Step 4

Onboarding + training

  • Patient training, device setup, and troubleshooting
  • Multilingual support and ongoing engagement
  • Visit confirmations and between-visit coordination
Delve-owned

Step 5

Conduct: compliance operations

  • Real-time adherence monitoring (tasks + telemetry)
  • Concierge outreach when compliance drifts
  • Documented interventions and outcomes
Delve-owned

Step 6

Safety operations + escalation

  • Symptom capture triggers routed per protocol
  • Structured escalation to site/sponsor teams
  • Audit-ready documentation of follow-up actions
Integrated

Step 7

Data quality + reconciliation

  • Continuous QC and missingness surveillance
  • Wear-time/signal health monitoring and remediation
  • Reconciliation across eCOA, wearables, and exports
Delve-led

Step 8

Analysis readiness + close-out

  • Analysis-ready exports and documented handling rules
  • Close-out evidence package: compliance + continuity
  • Support for interim looks and endpoint performance review (as scoped)

Oncology Capabilities

Execution built for oncology realities.

Symptom-heavy protocols

Oncology protocols demand consistent patient-reported information across fatigue, pain, nausea, sleep, and QoL.

  • Protocol-driven ePRO/eCOA schedules with visit windows
  • Automated reminders plus human follow-through
  • Escalation workflows when concerning patterns appear

Wearables + digital measures

When digital measures are used, the real risk is missingness and signal loss—not the sensor itself.

  • Device logistics + provisioning workflows
  • Telemetry: sync, battery, data continuity monitoring
  • Signal health checks and rapid remediation

Site relief + network performance

Sites cannot absorb more follow-up work. We take operational weight off coordinators while keeping evidence trails intact.

  • Reminders, rescheduling, training, participant questions
  • Pre-screening assistance and patient qualification (as scoped)
  • Study-wide oversight dashboards for sponsors and networks

Deliverables

What you receive when Delve runs oncology execution.

  • Operational study plan + oncology execution risk register
  • Participant engagement plan + scripts + escalation pathways
  • Device deployment plan + accountability + replacement workflows
  • Data quality plan: missingness rules, telemetry checks, reconciliation approach
  • Weekly risk report: compliance, retention, and site/network performance
  • Close-out evidence package: intervention logs, compliance summary, data continuity report

From raw signals to analysis-ready evidence

We do not simply “collect data.” We operationalize adherence, document interventions, and reduce silent missingness— so your team sees cleaner datasets and fewer late-cycle surprises.

  • Continuous QC and outlier/missingness surveillance
  • Documentation of interventions (what happened, when, why, outcome)
  • Reconciliation across digital sources and exports (as scoped)
  • Readiness support for interim looks and endpoint reviews (as scoped)

If you already have DM/biostats partners, Delve integrates and strengthens the operational evidence chain.

Planning an oncology study?

If your endpoints depend on consistent between-visit behavior—diaries, symptoms, devices, follow-up—Delve is built to protect that evidence chain. We can lead end-to-end execution or integrate with your CRO to improve compliance and retention.
