Clinical Trial Patient Recruitment: Accelerate Enrollment, Increase Retention and Reduce Costs
Cutting Edge Information, Aug 2010, Pages: 209
Clinical trial costs are skyrocketing amidst patient shortages, fewer drug approvals and limited growth in the number of available clinical investigators. At the same time, companies face stringent demands for more safety data — and patient recruitment stands as a pivotal roadblock. As pressure mounts and competition for patients intensifies, superior trial teams build resilient strategies for attracting and retaining patients, and their efforts are backed by sufficient resources.
Accelerate enrollment and expand your clinical capabilities with our detailed benchmarks and best practices from more than 80 companies across the life sciences. Use this report to eliminate barriers to patient recruitment and ensure trial completion:
- Master trial recruitment: Explore 16 patient recruitment activities and track the effectiveness of each strategy. Learn how trial protocol can stimulate patient participation. Train site staff and investigators to emphasize recruitment.
- Motivate patients to enroll: Learn how to think like a patient by mastering eight enrollment motivators — including both tangible and emotional draws. Effectiveness ratings for each motivator will guide your strategy as you mine patient demographics and market research to bolster recruitment.
- Integrate recruitment into formal trial structure and process: Resolve disagreements quickly by determining patient recruitment ownership and strengthening strategic partnerships with vendors. Consider using the expertise of a patient recruitment specialist.
