DupCheck is a web-based tool used globally to screen for duplicate patients in clinical trials across studies, sponsors and therapeutic areas. Duplicate enrollment harms both patients and studies.In many therapeutic areas even a small number of duplicate patients can lead to a negative or failed trial.  In addition enrolling duplicate patients can result in a misattributed serious adverse event.

DupCheck is part of NEWMEDS an international consortium of scientists that has launched one of the largest ever research academic-industry collaboration projects to find new methods for the development of drugs.  NEWMEDS brings together top scientists from academic institutions with a wide range of expertise, and partners them with nearly all major biopharmaceutical companies.  NEWMEDS ultimate goal is to develop new approaches for shorter and more efficient trials of new medications. 

DupCheck provides sites and sponsors with real time information on attempted duplicate enrollment at time of screening. DupCheck can also screen for previous participation in a trial of investigational drug. 

DupCheck can be linked to existing electronic data capture systems—eliminating additional data entry—and run in the background, analogues to an anti-virus.  

DupCheck is compliant with EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and HIPAA.  No identifiable patient or sponsor data is transmitted, stored or shared.  

DupCheck was given a favorable Qualification Advice review by the European Medicines Agency and the FDA has stated that DupChecking is advisable.
