With our patient-first strategic approaches to patient recruiting, you may meet your clinical trial patient enrolment targets.
Delays in patient recruiting are quite prevalent and costly. According to Clinical Leader (2018), approximately 80% of patient recruitment timeframes in clinical trials are not reached, and over 50% of patients are not enrolled within the planned time frames. According to some research, each day of clinical trial delays costs a sponsor $1 million in potential sales.
So, why is it so difficult to find patients? Maven has identified the essential obstacles, factors, and solutions to plan for and fulfil your enrolment goals based on years of experience.
It is vital to understand the target patient population’s demands and essential decision-making concerns. Our patient-centred services consider the patient’s point of view in order to improve feasibility, recruitment, and retention. This allows for the creation of extremely effective, targeted tactics that enhances the involvement throughout the patient experience. From the beginning to the end, a full range of services is provided.
Sound recruitment tactics targeted for intended participants, are emerging as essential success elements in recruiting the proper patients for a clinical trial, according to Maven.
Patients today are tech-savvy and proactive when it comes to their health care. Many patients nowadays use the internet to learn about a disease, treatment choices, and clinical trials. Almost half of potential volunteers learn about clinical trials through the media and the internet. To target study participants and increase the efficiency of our efforts, our recruiters use a variety of innovative technology, techniques, and methods.
Focusing on consumers rather than scientists has had the biggest significant impact on Maven’s customer patient recruiting performance. Patient-centric advertising, such as branded research websites supported by strong marketing and search engine optimization (SEO) techniques, has enhanced our customer’s patient recruitment success rates in a cost-effective and efficient manner.
We employ the following strategies in addition to patient-centric websites to help you successfully enrol patients in your clinical trials:
Maven can better understand patient motivation and involvement through research based on patient surveys, forums, and focus groups. We have also built relationships with patient advocacy groups, which allows us to learn more about the patient experience. Our patient recruiting and treatment specialists can use this information to help them identify significant milestones in the patient journey. We may build and implement protocol-specific support solutions and patient engagement initiatives using this information together to provide a more holistic, patient-centric approach.
We build a personalised recruiting and retention plan for the entire research using the patient profile and treatment pathway to further characterise the patient. This proactive approach is integrated into a larger strategic operational strategy and is end-to-end.
Mavens believe in starting at the site level and supporting and improving recruitment. This begins with selecting the appropriate sites and collaborating with them to maximise enrolment possibilities. It is critical to plan for recruitment on a site-by-site basis. To create creative solutions, we can use a range of tools and services, such as our FIRECREST Learning Management System, tailored training modules, Pre-Screen, and on-the-ground patient recruitment resources. Symphony Research can also provide decentralised and hybrid trial solutions, including in-home and alternative site services.
Site Engagement Liaisons (SELs) work closely with sites to organise and manage local level recruitment initiatives, which includes anything from translating protocol to assessing the site pre-screening process to identify eligible subjects. They will work with sites remotely or on-site as needed to get the outcomes you are looking for.
FIRECREST eConsent, which includes compelling interactive multimedia content, can help patients grasp trial specific components and obligations once they have been discovered. It also has a function that allows patients to inquire about certain operations to get more involved in the process. eSignature captures signatures on a variety of devices, including iPad and smartphone screens, if the patient wants to participate in the research. eSignature is compliant with rules, reduces site administration burden, and allows study employees to be monitored and overseen in real time.
