About the Customer
Myota is a London-based gut health company pioneering research in gut microbiome science. Founded out of MIT research on fiber fermentation, Myota specializes in developing diverse prebiotic fiber blends backed by clinical evidence. Their mission is to harness microbiome science to improve mental, metabolic, and digestive health through rigorously tested formulations.
The Challenge: Bringing Science-First Innovation to Market on a Startup Budget
While still a small team, Myota operates at the cutting edge of nutrition science—but faces the same hurdles as many early-stage biotech startups: limited funding for clinical research and strict data-handling requirements. Traditional EDC systems proved cost-prohibitive, forcing small companies like Myota to consider manual data collection or less secure tools. “Without Captivate, we wouldn’t have been able to afford a compliant EDC platform. Running a 150-plus-participant study on paper just isn’t feasible,” said Caitlin, Head of Research at Myota Health. “The Weidley’s Wish program was truly a game-changer for us.”
The Solution: Captivate® and the Weidley’s Wish Program
Through ClinCapture’s Weidley’s Wish initiative which provides low-cost access to Captivate for philanthropic, academic, and early-stage organizations Myota implemented Captivate to manage its latest double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial. Captivate’s flexible interface enabled Myota’s small team to design study forms,
questionnaires, and rules in-house, while ClinCapture’s support team guided them through each phase of setup.
“The eLearning program and support from Bianca, our solutions engineer, were fantastic,” Caitlin explained. “It was intuitive to build our forms, and testing was easy. We ran multiple practice sessions before going live, and everything worked seamlessly.”
The Results: Easy to Use, Secure, and Scalable
Even in its early stages, the study has already benefited from Captivate’s real-time visibility and secure role-based access. The platform allows Myota to audit data quality without accessing sensitive participant information—ensuring regulatory compliance and peace of mind.
Their principal investigator, who typically uses an academic-focused EDC at the university level, praised Captivate’s usability:
“She said Captivate was much more user-friendly and visually clear. That kind of feedback says a lot,” Caitlin added.
For Myota, Captivate has done more than streamline data collection—it has made high-quality research possible.
“Captivate lets us pursue the cutting-edge science we’re passionate about without breaking our budget,” said Caitlin
Looking Ahead
Myota plans to continue using Captivate for future studies across its three core research areas:
gut-brain health, metabolic health, and digestive function. The company’s long-term vision is to bridge the gap between scientific discovery and consumer health through validated, evidence-based formulations.
