The Opportunity for Walgreens in The World of Clinical Trials

Sep. 25, 2024

Walgreens launched its Clinical Trials business in 2022 to make clinical trials more accessible, convenient and equitable for the nearly 80% of Americans who live near a Walgreens store. Since then, the company has seen solid growth in this business and now working with more than 25 biopharmaceutical companies, academic institutions, nonprofits and government entities.

Clinical research organizations (CROs) and manufacturers are highly interested in working with a partner like Walgreens that can address patient convenience, study recruitment efficiency and trial participant diversity. Walgreens is also able to scale this business in a capital light approach leveraging its existing retail pharmacy network. To discuss this topic, we're joined by Ramita Tandon, Walgreen's Chief Clinical Trials Officer.
