Solving your biggest patient recruitment and retention challenges

- PMLiVE

Clinical trial patient recruitment and retention remains one of the key challenges to successfully bringing a new therapeutic to market. An estimated 85% of clinical trials face delays due to enrollment issues [1,2], and poor recruitment is a common reason for discontinuation [3]. Of those successfully enrolled, around 30% are likely to drop out [4], which increases costs for sponsors and threatens the viability of the trial itself.

Directly supporting patients from prescreening to study endpoint can help minimize delays and safeguard against early termination, but this can be difficult for hard-pressed sites. Join us as we discuss the most common patient support challenges – as described to us by YOU – and how our new Navigator can solve them by giving patients a more personalized clinical trial experience and consistent contact, alleviating the burden on sites, and ensuring a sponsor’s study runs efficiently to help accelerate patient access to life-changing treatments.

We will share our insight into why the ‘human touch’ can elevate your in-study patient engagement to the next level and how this permeates through our Navigator service to benefit patients, sites and sponsors. You will also hear from a sponsor that has benefitted from our expertise: the difficulties they faced, the solutions we implemented and the difference we made. And we will share feedback from clinical trial participants about what they think of our support.
