- Navigating patients step by step on their clinical trial journey
- For clinical trial participants, navigating their way through a study can sometimes seem daunting and complicated. Without the right support, around 30% are likely to drop out [1], resulting in extra financial costs for sponsors and potentially placing the future of the trial in jeopardy.However, sites don’t always have the time and resources available to commit to ongoing and consistent patient engagement. In our upcoming webinar, we will discuss common challenges participants and sites face when it comes to engagement and how our new ‘Navigator’ service is helping to change the game.Hear how our new patient-centric service benefits patients, sites and sponsors by:Ensuring patients get the support they need for the best clinical trial experience possibleDecreasing the risk of early trial termination by improving the retention of participants until the very end of a studyReducing the burden on sites by performing a second layer of prescreening, allowing sites to focus on the scienceSpeakersChair - John Pinching, Editor, PharmaTimesKari Reilly - Patient Recruitment Manager, Innovative TrialsKristin Faber - VP of Clinical Trial Patient Recruitment, Spectrum ScienceAdel Sepulveda - Navigator, Innovative TrialsGwen Barger - Site Manager, CCT ResearchReferencesAlexander W.

- 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
