Patient Recruitment: Think Global, Act Local

Global clinical trials are a vital component of pharma R&D. Utilizing sites in multiple countries not only provides increased access to eligible and diverse patients – and therefore more robust data – but also promotes health equity and research and innovation across continents.Another benefit of global clinical trials is the potential for these studies to be completed more quickly and efficiently [1]. However, around four in five clinical trials fail to meet their patient recruitment deadlines [2], which delays patient access to innovative new therapeutics and can prove costly to Sponsors.Just as treatments are becoming more personalized, so should clinical trial patient recruitment strategies. A ‘one size fits all’ approach to enrollment fails to consider how factors such as an individual country’s culture, healthcare structure and patients’ needs can affect a site’s ability to recruit eligible participants. The key to patient enrollment success is to ‘think local’, even for global studies.In this webinar, we will:Discuss the benefits of using a diversified patient recruitment approach for each country within a global studyInvestigate how patient recruitment strategies can differ from country to country,Hear from two in-country patient recruitment specialists about the challenges relevant to their regions and how they work with sites to overcome theseShare how Innovative Trials’ ‘boots-on-the-ground’ approach in more than 70 countries around the world can help accelerate patient recruitment and retention for your clinical trials.SpeakersGeorgia Hardy – Site Operations Lead, Innovative TrialsNicole Yingst – Associate Director, Patient Recruitment Programs, PfizerBarbara OrlosKaminska – Clinical Enrollment Manager (Poland), Innovative Trials
