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.
