First results from 6 months, study-dependent. You own the data and control publication.
Academic bureaucracy and single-site CROs create delays and bottlenecks, you can wait 3–5 years for a finished study. Our decentralised-first, nationwide model delivers data from 6 months.
Many CROs lack subject expertise and pick weak endpoints, underpowered samples, and the wrong demographics, and by the time you realise, it's too late to fix. Our PhD-level nutritional and exercise physiologists design bespoke trials around your product's strengths.
Appoint a typical CRO and Sponsor liability stays with you: regulatory and medical oversight, insurance, safety reporting. StudySetGo takes on the Sponsor role on your behalf, reducing your risk and saving you £10,000s.

Other CROs deliver a report and move on, we believe that's where the real work begins. Once your results are in, we help you translate them into evidence your marketing team can use, content your customers understand, and proof that holds up with retailers and investors.
Go beyond the primary outcome with deeper data interrogation and marketing-ready data visualisation packages.
We translate your results into claims your marketing team can use, within the bounds of what your evidence and the regulators allow.
Publication in a peer-reviewed journal is the gold standard for credibility with professionals and investors. We draft and submit the paper.
Attach a university name or key opinion leader to your study and unlock a new tier of scientific authority.
Traditional clinical trials are slow because they’re built around fixed infrastructure. StudySetGo Trials is designed from the ground up to work without it. That changes everything.
Traditional trials recruit within driving distance of a lab. Remote-first means we recruit from across the entire UK, a vastly larger pool that hits target sample sizes faster and reduces the risk of slow enrolment killing your timeline.
The science doesn’t compromise. We use peer-reviewed, validated measurement tools designed for home-based data collection (wearables, biomarker kits, digital questionnaires) that produce publishable results without a lab visit.
Conventional trials sit idle waiting for equipment time. A single lab booking queue can add weeks of dead time between enrolment and data collection. Remote-first means continuous data flow on your timeline, not the institution’s schedule.
University ethics committees work to academic calendars. Independent ethics boards work to commercial ones. We submit to boards with defined review timelines, measured in weeks, not the months a university committee can take.
A rapid pilot gives you fast signal on whether your product performs, before you invest in a full publication-grade trial. Get real data in a matter of weeks, decide what to do with it, and move forward with confidence. If the signal is strong, you already have early evidence. If it isn’t, you’ve saved yourself a much larger investment.
Remote-first doesn’t mean fewer endpoints. We collect publishable, ethics-approved data across all major outcome categories, without participants setting foot in a lab.
Cholesterol, CRP, glucose, insulin, HbA1c, liver enzymes, hormones, and more, collected at home via phlebotomy or through our nationwide clinic network.
Validated digital assessments of memory, attention, reaction time, and executive function, completed remotely via tablet or desktop at scheduled intervals.
Body weight, BMI, waist circumference, and DEXA-equivalent body fat via validated home scales and measurement protocols. Suitable for weight management and metabolic studies.
VO2 max estimates, grip strength, timed functional tests, and activity metrics captured via wearables and validated field assessments. No treadmill required.
Gut microbiota diversity and composition via validated stool sampling kits. Analysed by accredited labs for pre/post intervention changes, ideal for probiotic and prebiotic studies.
Real-time glucose response data via CGM patches worn at home over 2–4 weeks. Captures postprandial peaks, variability, and time-in-range for metabolic and nutrition trials.
Peer-reviewed patient-reported outcome measures (PROs) for sleep, mood, energy, stress, pain, and quality of life. Administered digitally at defined time points.
Continuous HRV, sleep architecture, resting heart rate, and activity data via validated wearable devices. Passively collected. No burden on participants.
Macro and micronutrient tracking, food frequency questionnaires, and dietary recall using validated digital tools. Used as a primary endpoint or a control variable.
Not seeing your endpoint? Most health outcomes can be measured remotely. Ask us at the discovery call. For specialist tests beyond our standard remote panel, we work with accredited partner labs to ensure the right analysis for your study.

StudySetGo Trials delivers first results from 6 months, study-dependent. Remote-first data collection, independent ethics boards, and no lab bottlenecks mean you move at commercial pace, not the academic calendar.
Buyers at Boots and Holland & Barrett want evidence before ranging a product. Investors want it before writing cheques. A published, independent study answers both.
We run the study as your CRO and carry the Sponsor role: insurance, safety reporting, regulatory oversight. Fully managed from protocol to publication, so you focus on your business.
With StudySetGo Trials, you own the data and decide if, when, and where it gets published. No academic agenda. Your evidence, your decision.
StudySetGo acts as trial sponsor, handles ethics submissions, and manages regulatory compliance. You get the results without the operational burden.
“Using StudySetGo felt like a cheat code for getting clinical evidence.”Ollie Elsen, Industry Partner
“We filled our study in record time.”Dr Tom Maden-Wilkinson, University of Sheffield
“The speed for academia is just like… it makes it so hard for industry to work with academia because it’s just never quick enough.”Founder, Nutrition Brand
Every month without clinical evidence, your competitors move further ahead.
Buyers at Boots, Holland & Barrett, and major grocers want evidence. No study, no shelf space.
Google and Meta are cracking down on unsubstantiated health claims. One suspension can cost months of revenue.
95% of collagen products have no clinical backing. The ones that do will win the market.
VCs and angels increasingly require scientific validation before writing cheques.
We find out what you’re trying to prove and what you’ll do with the results. You leave with a clear recommendation on study type and approach.
We scope your trial (outcome measures, sample size, study duration) and design a protocol around your commercial objectives.
We submit to an independent ethics board, finalise the protocol, and prepare for recruitment. We carry trial sponsorship.
The study runs. We provide monthly check-ins and milestone tracking. We manage everything. Your team stays focused on the business.
Receive your data, analysis, and a manuscript for peer-reviewed publication. Use it for marketing, investors, and retail.
StudySetGo Trials works with brands where clinical evidence is what unlocks the next stage: retail listings, fundraising, or defending ad accounts. Not a nice-to-have. The actual thing.
You’ve had your ad accounts flagged. Buyers at Holland & Barrett or Boots want evidence. Your competitors are starting to publish. We design studies around the exact claim you want to make: the right biomarker, the right population, the right outcome measure to make it stick.
You’re launching into grocery with a product that makes an efficacy claim. Major retailers want clinical substantiation before listing. StudySetGo Trials gives you a published, peer-reviewed study you can put in front of any buyer, fast enough to land in the next ranging review.
You’re in fundraising conversations and investors keep asking “what’s the evidence?” A published study from an independent ethics-approved trial is the most credible answer you can give, and it justifies the premium valuation you’re asking for.
StudySetGo Trials is a fully managed service. We design your trial protocol around your commercial objectives, submit for independent ethics approval, recruit participants from our UK-wide network, collect and analyse the data, and deliver a manuscript ready for peer-reviewed publication. You own the data and control when and how results are published.
Trial design and ethics approval take 3–4 weeks. Data collection runs 3–6 months depending on the study type. Many studies deliver first results within 6 months of kick-off, though complex or longer-duration studies take longer. We scope your timeline accurately at discovery call so you know what to expect before committing.
StudySetGo Trials is fully managed. We handle trial design, ethics submissions, participant recruitment, data collection, and milestone tracking. Your team stays focused on the business.
We design studies to give your product the best chance, but scientific integrity comes first. Even neutral results give you R&D data and show investors and regulators that you take the evidence seriously.
This is where StudySetGo Trials differs from academic research. We start with the claim you want to make (“supports gut health,” “reduces fatigue,” “clinically tested for joint mobility”) and work backwards to the outcome measure that gives that claim scientific backing. The right biomarker, the right study population, and the right statistical threshold to make the evidence usable in ads, on packaging, and with retailers.
Once the data is in, we also guide you on how to use it. What you can say on Meta and Google. What a retailer buyer wants to see. What language is compliant. You don’t need a separate regulatory consultant for that. It’s part of the service.
You can, and many companies try. University contracting processes are notoriously slow. Research contracts teams are overworked and underpaid, with high staff turnover. We bypass that entirely and run the trial ourselves using independent ethics boards and our own participant network. No waiting on a university to get back to you.
