TriNetX is a helpful tool in understanding clinical trial feasibility and planning. It is a webbased system that permits de-identified queries over Banner Health’s EHR data by specifying inclusion and exclusion criteria to develop a cohort. Once you have your cohort you can explore the cohort to view demographics, diagnoses, procedures, medications, labs, and regional distribution. You can also save a cohort and have the Honest Broker extract additional data points not available through the platform. Support for the platform comes from the pharmaceutical industry which has access to query the network of TriNetX members to find cohorts required to meet enrollment targets. If they find cohorts at Banner, they will send clinical trial opportunities to determine if there is an investigator interested in pursuing the project (similar to Cerner Learning Health Network).
