For independent practices
Pharmaceutical sponsors pay independent clinics to run trials with patients they already see. You don't need a research background or a dedicated team — TrialWave finds the studies that fit your patients and runs the sponsor outreach to get your practice added as a site.
14-day free trial on every plan — no credit card required.
Sponsors route most studies through a small circle of established research sites, so thousands of qualified independent practices never get the chance to participate. Meanwhile, sponsors are short on sites and actively recruiting — especially community practices outside big academic centers. The opportunity is real; the hard part has always been finding the right studies and getting a sponsor's attention. That's the part TrialWave automates.
TrialWave scans active clinical trials and scores which ones the patients you already see would qualify for — by condition, specialty, and location — so you focus only on studies you can realistically win.
It runs the outreach to pharmaceutical sponsors and CROs to get your practice added as a study site — the business-development work a research coordinator would normally do, without the hire.
Sponsors reimburse sites per patient visit and per enrolled patient. That revenue sits on top of how you already run your practice — it isn't a new business, it's a new line of income.
No. Sponsors are increasingly short on qualified sites and specifically want small, independent, and community practices — particularly outside major academic centers where recruitment is harder. If you see patients with common conditions like type 2 diabetes, obesity, high cholesterol, or cardiovascular disease, sponsors are looking for practices like yours.
No. Most of the practices that use TrialWave are running their first study. TrialWave handles the business-development side — finding studies your patients fit and getting your practice in front of sponsors — so you don't need an existing research operation to get started.
It varies by study and specialty, but sponsors commonly pay a site thousands of dollars per enrolled patient, plus per-visit reimbursement. Even a single study can add a meaningful revenue line without changing how you run your practice. Amounts are set by each sponsor's budget — TrialWave helps you find and pursue the studies, it does not guarantee selection or a specific payout.
Trials recruit from patients you already see, so it isn't a separate patient base. The two hardest parts for a new site — discovering which studies fit and getting a sponsor to say yes — are exactly what TrialWave automates, so the overhead is far lower than hiring a full-time research coordinator.
TrialWave is software for the business side of clinical research. It finds and scores studies that match your patient population, runs professional outreach to sponsors and CROs to get you added as a site, and keeps your pipeline, feasibility questionnaires, agreements, and documents organized in one place. It does not conduct the trial itself or provide medical or regulatory advice.
Yes. TrialWave only uses aggregate, de-identified population information (for example, how many patients you see with a given condition) — never individual patient records or protected health information.
