The TCC Protocol — Lifetime Consented Patients as Partners
Aster Insight’s patented, IRB-approved TCC protocol is implemented by ORIEN members nationwide. Under the TCC protocol, patients consent to having their data collected over the course of their lifetime and agree to be re-contacted, making TCC the only lifetime patient-consented clinical and genomic database in the U.S.
This process empowers patients to participate as active partners in research and enables the potential to match and enroll them in clinical trials. Through TCC, researchers gain the ability to correlate targets with response and outcomes data, powering the development of novel targets and diagnostics.
97%

ORIEN members nation-wide
Continuously Expanding
Patients are empowered to join TCC. An estimated 10,000 to 20,000 patients enroll in TCC every month.
Limitless Opportunity
From custom cohorts for researchers to clinical trial matching for patients, the possibilities are endless.
Magnifying Impact
With every patient that joins, every member that collaborates, every industry scientist that explores, the impact of the individual soars.
