With no geographic barriers, Lightship’s decentralized studies make participation accessible to over 80% of the population increasing the speed of enrollment.
40% of engaged leads come from diverse backgrounds, promoting inclusivity and representation.
95% average patient retention, with 100% satisfaction for home visits, reflects the quality of our personalized care.
With deep expertise, proven methodologies, and an unwavering commitment to quality, we conduct decentralized trials that enhance engagement, retention, and data integrity. Our comprehensive service model covers all activities from study design and start-up to conduct and close-out. Here’s how we do it.

We tailor each study by integrating decentralized elements that align with the unique needs of sponsors and patients, ensuring clinical trial endpoints are met while maintaining both convenience and regulatory rigor.

We use targeted outreach in communities, digital channels, partnerships and patient databases to identify potential participants. Our centralized research coordinators and nurses rapidly pre-screen potential participants and organize necessary screening visits at home. Our team remains engaged with participants throughout the duration of the study, allowing for a single point of contact.

Our team of research nurses conduct study visits and necessary protocol assessments at home or a preferred alternative location, with remote PI oversight. These visits may include patient education, training, and IMP preparation or administration. Supported by advanced technology, we ensure seamless electronic data collection and secure transfer for efficient trial management.
Lightship partnered with a top-10 pharmaceutical company to execute a fully decentralized dermatology trial.
This rescue project required a rapid start-up and recruitment of 100 patients for a fully remote study across five US states.
To ensure a seamless experience, the client employed Lightship’s decentralized trial services to manage site ID, qualification, start-up, conduct, and close-out activities. A dedicated remote PI led the trial, supported by a team of NP/PA and RN professionals who conducted assessments and procedures directly in patients’ homes.
Lightship offers modular services tailored to your trial needs – available as standalone solutions or seamlessly integrated into a full-service decentralized model.
