DCC Ascendent joins Clinerion’s Patient Network Explorer platform and improves access to leading-edge healthcare treatment options for patients and physicians in Bulgaria.

By joining the international hospital network on Clinerion’s Patient Network Explorer, DCC Ascendent’s patients and their physicians are brought to the attention of researchers and trial sponsors who are recruiting for clinical trials, thereby bringing its patients earlier access to leading-edge treatments and medications.
