Driving Enrolment and Retention Through Technology
As drug development, site management, and regulatory environments grow in complexity, life sciences companies need technology solutions that can manage the increasing demand for study participants, stringent inclusion criteria and strict regulatory review guidelines.
There were over 365 thousand clinical trials registered worldwide as of 2020, and approximately 40% of clinical research budget is spent on patient recruitment and enrollment. Even with this focus, about 80% of clinical trials experience delays due to inadequate patient enrollment.
Industry sponsors and CROs have prioritized the patient experience, leading to concrete improvements in study timelines for clinical trials, the reduction of enrollment risk and an increase in patient retention rates. Leveraging technology, CROs and study sponsors can simplify a patient’s journey by reducing site burden through highly matched patient referrals and empower study teams to manage enrollment performance and patient retention.
Join us for a complimentary webinar to understand how Worldwide Clinical Trials, Greenphire and Trialbee have successfully implemented solutions across the patient journey.
