Contract Win
Cambridge Cognition selected for two Phase 3 trials combining digital
cognitive and voice solutions
Cambridge Cognition (AIM: COG), the brain health software group specialising
in digital products to advance clinical research and patient treatment, has
been selected by a major pharmaceutical company to provide digital cognitive
and voice assessments for two Phase 3 clinical trials in adolescents with
Major Depressive Disorder (MDD). Both contracts are set to commence this year,
with the first running until 2027 and the second through to 2029. The total
value of the combined contracts is estimated at approximately £1.2 million.
MDD among adolescents represents a critical public health challenge with
significant long-term implications(1). The past three years have witnessed a
substantial 30% growth in industry-sponsored clinical studies focused on
depression(2), highlighting an increasing research commitment to mental health
interventions. The market for MDD is expected to exceed $19 billion by
2030(3).
Cambridge Cognition has been selected as a strategic partner to advance
clinical trial methodologies through innovative speech analysis. By
integrating speech biomarkers with cognitive assessments, the platform enables
more precise patient monitoring, allowing researchers to capture nuanced
treatment-response insights. Additionally, the inclusion of cognitive
assessments will enable detection of improvements in cognitive function, which
is frequently impaired in depression and closely linked to overall
functioning.
Rob Baker, Joint Managing Director and Chief Operating Officer, commented:
"This strategically important contract win highlights the value of our
integrated speech and cognitive platform that not only delivers robust and
reliable results for the pharmaceutical company but also reduces trial costs
and patient burden. As a result, we see significant future demand for our
unique platform, and we remain confident in our ambitions to significantly
grow sales in the high-impact, late-stage CNS trials market over the coming
years."
