BEST PRACTICES IN P R E V I E W O F BEST PRACTICES IN PATIENT RECRUITMENT A U G U S T, 2 0 1 6 Introduction SMARTER QUESTIONS SMARTER ANSWERS REPORT OVERVIEW Patient recruitment is a primary concern of the clinical trial industry. Every day that a clinical trial goes beyond its intended deadline the sponsor organization could lose hundreds of thousands to millions of dollars in sales. Sponsors, CROs, and sites engage various means to reach key milestones on time and within budget. To provide the best perspective on this critical topic, ISR gathered opinions from key decision-makers at three different types of stakeholder organizations: sponsors, CROs, and sites. Further, we explored the increasingly important role of specialized patient recruitment firms by examining their market penetration, value, and performance. 210 PAGES 304 CHARTS AND GRAPHS VALUABLE FOR CLINICAL OPERATIONS CLINICAL DEVELOPMENT EXECUTIVE MANAGEMENT PATIENT RECRUITMENT INVESTIGATORS & SITE MANAGERS THERAPEUTIC AREA HEADS SITE RESEARCH COORDINATORS DATA COLLECTION IN Q1, 2016 20-MINUTE WEB-BASED SURVEY 103 RESPONDENTS FROM SPONSORS, CROS AND SITES SITE PRINCIPAL INVESTIGATORS WHAT YOU WILL LEARN • Which entity (sponsor, CRO or site) has the greatest potential to impact patient recruitment success and why • Key drivers to successful patient recruitment, including which study characteristics impact participation • Respondents’ insight into their approach to recruiting for a global trial, including country selection factors and challenges for which to be prepared How you can use this report • Know when and how to engage a specialized patient recruitment firm to get the best value • Understand the value of various patient recruitment tactics and the best sources for recruiting patients • Employ best practices identified by industry peers to improve the likelihood your clinical trial will be completed on-time and within budget MAJOR SECTIONS: 1.
