Local Startup Matches Patients with Clinical Trials

You've been diagnosed with cancer. Your doctor recommends treatment. You wonder "What are my options?"

Until the launch of CureLauncher.com in 2012, there weren't many obvious medical options available to patients diagnosed with serious diseases. CureLauncher.com matches patients in need of treatment options with clinical trials quickly and easily. Qualifying patients are linked up with clinical trials that provide access to the latest medical treatments and developments free of charge.

CureLauncher.com is the brain child of Stephen Goldner, David Fuehrer, and Mark Bennett. Headquartered in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan, CureLauncher.com makes matching patients with clinical trial treatments easy. The service has created a national database of current clinical trials and matches patients to the appropriate programs. CureLauncher.com's Relationship Managers guide prospects through the process, starting with a simple 10-point questionnaire. The patient is then able to make an informed decision about the available trials to make an informed decision. The service and treatment are provided at no cost to the patient.

There are some 10,000 clinical trials ongoing in the United States at any given time. These programs search for patients for months, as only 6% of physicians refer patients to clinical trials due to lack of information and/or no time to learn about available trials. Until the advent of CureLauncher.com, it was nearly impossible for patients to find reliable information about clinical trials. Now doctors and patients have a trusted, user-friendly resource to the most advanced medical treatments available.

CureLauncher.com provides connections for patients diagnosed with many conditions, including arthritis, asthma, cancer, diabetes, heart disease, stroke, and psoriasis.

CureLauncher.com has partnered with Gilda's Club, Happy Chemo!, Just Got Diagnosed, Lots to Live For! and Treatment Diaries to expand its services to people in need.

CureLauncher.com provides connections to clinical trials nationwide. Currently there are more than 1,600 clinical trials in Michigan, with nearly 100 in the Flint area. For more information visit CureLauncher.com, join its Facebook page, or call (800) 488-6632.
