In collaboration with leading researchers and the pharmaceutical industry, the PhaseV innovation project will set new standards for how the effects of treatment can be documented so that patients are offered the right treatment. Patients and healthcare professionals will thus provide data that can help shed light on whether the treatment is working when Monsenso's digital platform is used to support decentralised trials in the project.
Company announcement no. 13-2022
Monsenso (publ.) (Nasdaq First North Growth Market Denmark: Ticker MONSO) is obligated to publish the information in compliance with the EU Market Abuse Regulation.
To date, medical treatments have been tested primarily in long-term, randomised clinical trials to determine treatment effects and side-effects, with limited measurement of long-term effects when treatment is provided in clinical practice.
Often, drug trials take 6-15 years before a new drug can be released on the market, and 80 percent of trials fail to recruit and retain a sufficient number of patients in the trials within the set timeframe. This means that the benefits for patients and healthcare systems are often delayed. However, with digital developments, it is possible for clinics, hospitals, and patients alike to play a more active role in documenting the impact of treatments.
The new PhaseV (Phase five) innovation project, in which Innovation Fund Denmark is investing
- With this project, we want to show that it is possible to engage and motivate patients and healthcare professionals to collect continuous data from patients over time. PhaseV will set new standards for how the efficacy and safety of new treatments can be documented in a scalable way in the future, so that patients are offered the right treatment, says Thomas Lethenborg, CEO of Monsenso.

Severe obesity, urticaria and diabetic foot ulcers
The PhaseV project will develop a platform with three apps to collect data on patients with severe obesity, diabetic foot ulcers and urticaria - all of which are costly chronic conditions. For example, annual treatment costs for severe obesity alone are estimated to exceed
- More than 800,000 Danes live with severe obesity, and associated diseases are very common. As severe obesity causes both direct and indirect costs to society, there is a significant need for good and well-documented weight loss treatments, says
Urticaria affects 15-20 percent of the population, and in about 1 percent it occurs chronically and causes a severely reduced quality of life.
- Thorough monitoring and efficient data collection on symptom development are crucial for correct and effective future treatment, says
22.000 Danes live with diabetic foot ulcers and treatment costs society more than
- For a patient with diabetes, a foot ulcer can become critical within days, and in exceptional cases amputation may be necessary. Hence, time is of the essence, and we want to prevent serious complications," says Klaus Kirketerp-Møller, senior physician at
The PhaseV project is expected to bring value to patients, regions, and municipalities, as well as to the institutions and companies involved.
Attractive new market opportunity for Monsenso
We are further developing Monsenso's digital health platform to improve the support of decentralised trials across chronic conditions, where behaviour and ongoing follow-up play a major role in patients' quality of life. We see both the development work and the partnerships as very interesting for Monsenso, because it opens up a new, attractive market opportunity, says the CEO of Monsenso, Thomas Lethenborg.

Financial expectations
The project does not change Monsenso's financial expectations for 2022 but is expected to contribute to increased growth in 2023 and beyond.
