Walgreens
Nationwide reach,
Trial participation with you in mind
We created Walgreens Clinical Trials to make clinical trials more accessible, convenient, and equitable for the 78% of Americans who live within five miles of Walgreens.
For sponsors, we have created the ideal blend of technology, personal connection, and flexible virtual, hybrid, or in-person care capabilities required to deliver on your clinical trial needs.
Community Access
Our extensive community partnerships and owned footprint with 9M customers served daily and 96M active myWalgreens members to identify and engage the right patients for clinical trials.
Participant Proximity
Our existing footprint provides access to a large and diverse population. Tapping into these local markets, combined with our physical locations improves our ability to recruit underrepresented populations that have not had access to clinical trials.
Customer Trust
Walgreens is a highly trusted and respected brand with strong relationships with our local communities. By listening to and understanding the voice of our communities, we provide personalization and last-mile enablement at every step of the clinical trial journey.
Trial Flexibility
Clinical trials are complex and require multi-disciplinary and multi-modal options. Flexible in-person, virtual, at-home, or hybrid trial formats enable easy participation for patients without disrupting their daily lives and reduce patient dropout rates in trials.
Accelerated Recruitment
Our insights-driven approach to finding the right patients with speed and precision can rapidly connect trials to many more patients than ever before.
Safety & Compliance
A new and unique operating model with a foundation of a strong compliance framework and high-quality trial data which meets evidence regulatory requirements.
Our vision
We will fundamentally change the paradigm for the patient experience in clinical trials. Building on our nationwide neighborhood presence, we will educate and empower communities to drive a diverse population to participate in trials.  Our ability to understand patients’ everyday needs and answer the call of our consumers who want an experience they can understand, is the hallmark of our approach so we can create a more equitable clinical research enterprise.
