“This is a great example of next-best-action at scale,” says Insightin Health founder and CEO, Enam Noor. “As members complete a digital HRA, the inGAGE™ platform identifies and automates member-specific outreach through our partnership with Drips.”
Most health plans are capturing this valuable information from their members today, however, without automation tools they are constrained by human capital and forced to focus on smaller segments of their population. Noor describes what he sees as a true win-win: “With inGAGE™ as the “brain” and Drips as the engagement “muscle,” health plans can save money while improving member satisfaction.”
“To help payers improve member experience and health outcomes, it’s not enough to just have data or just have an outreach platform,” said Drips Managing Director of Healthcare Dan Fox. “You need both of these things working hand in hand. By combining the inGAGE™ automation platform with Drips conversational outreach, we’ve created a truly remarkable solution that is transforming the way payers handle HRAs.”
About Drips

Backed by a proprietary natural language processing model, Drips’ conversational outreach strategy empowers health plan members and patients to engage on their own terms, leading to better results.
Drips has handled over 1.5 billion conversations for some of the world’s biggest brands. Top payers and brokers use Drips to improve engagement, member satisfaction, and outcomes across a wide variety of healthcare use cases. Learn more at www.drips.com or connect via LinkedIn.

“Glioblastoma remains one of those cancers that’s extremely difficult to treat, and treatments have improved only modestly in the last few decades,” says Robert Fenstermaker, MD, Chair of Neurosurgery at Roswell Park, co-creator of SurVaxM and national Principal Investigator on the SURVIVE trial. “There’s a real need for better treatments for patients with this disease, and thanks to the support of our colleagues and community we are grateful to see our work with SurVaxM advance to this exciting stage.”
Work to develop the vaccine was enabled by donations from numerous individuals and corporations to the Roswell Park Alliance Foundation, including support for events like the Ride for Roswell.
SurVaxM is currently available to patients with newly diagnosed glioblastoma brain cancer through the randomized, blinded, placebo-controlled phase 2b SURVIVE clinical trial (NCT05163080). Approximately 60% of an anticipated 270 patients have been enrolled on the study, which is currently recruiting new patients at 11 cancer centers nationwide: Roswell Park, where SurVaxM originated, as well as Miami Cancer Institute, Cleveland Clinic, Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, Overlook Medical Center, Norton Cancer Institute, Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center, Texas Oncology, New York University, Northwell Health and University of California–San Francisco.
“Fast Track Designation is a key component in our journey to help patients with glioblastoma to live longer,” says Michael Ciesielski, PhD, co-creator of SurVaxM, Assistant Professor of Neurosurgery at Roswell Park and CEO of MimiVax.
Positive final data from the previous phase 2a study of SurVaxM in patients with newly diagnosed glioblastoma (nGBM), published in the Journal of Clinical Oncology, reported that 51% of patients receiving SurVaxM survived at least 2 years, and 41% survived at least 3 years. The median overall survival of 25.9 months with nGBM in the study were considerably higher than would be expected with standard therapy alone.
Fast Track is a process designated to facilitate the development and expedite the review of drugs to treat serious medical conditions and fulfill unmet medical need. Significant benefits of FTD include:
MimiVax was formed more than a decade ago as a spinoff from Roswell Park to develop and commercialize SurVaxM. For more information on MimiVax, visit http://www.mimivax.com.
SurVaxM is also being evaluated in early-phase studies of adult patients with some neuroendocrine tumors and in pediatric patients with some types of brain tumors, and is also being assessed in adults with multiple myeloma.
