Improve trial enrollment using patient perspectives and technology
In this webinar, Nisha Trivedi, Patient Advocate, and Jena Daniels, VP of Patient Success showcase how adding technology in clinical trials enables greater diversity and an increase in study enrollment upfront and maintains patient engagement over the course of the study.
Webinar Highlights:
- Establishing internal relationships with end-users (patients, caregivers, and sites) will increase technology adoption
- Using technology to increase participant access, engagement, retention, and education
- Navigating uncertainties in technology and approach while balancing the needs of participants providing them with a positive and differentiated experience
- Ensuring patients, caregivers, and sites are engaged in the study design and implementation process
Podcast: How do you ensure clinical trial access for all?
Medable CEO Michelle Longmire joins Beyond the Molecule Podcast to discuss how the industry can expand clinical trial access to all populations.
Informed Consent Forms (ICFs) for Clinical Trials: Write with plain language please
Informed consent is a critical element of any clinical trial, as it starts the process that leads to a patient's participation in a trial. An informed consent form (ICF) is written by sponsors and delivered to patients to provide them with all the information they need about the study to make an informed decision around their participation. Traditionally done with paper-and-pen, an effective ICF is clear, concise, and straightforward, while covering all of the required elements defined by regulatory bodies, such as Good Clinical Practice (GCP) as defined in ICH E6(R2). Unfortunately, many ICFs are not well-written, use overly scientific language, and are overly complex, which can confuse and potentially alienate a potential participant. This blog examines ways to improve this important communication process using clear language and the latest technology.
Where does patient recruitment end and patient engagement begin?
It’s widely understood that patient recruitment is one of the most critical and yet most challenging aspects to a successful clinical trial. In fact, many trials fail to reach recruitment goals, with far-ranging implications for investigators, sponsors, study participants, and the population affected by the disease or condition under study.
