How to Give Your Clinical Trial Participants More Control, Convenience & Comfort
Some estimates indicate 80% of trials are delayed due to participant retention challenges. However, sponsors and CRO’s can curb this attrition by focusing their trials on patient comfort, convenience, and by ensuring they feel in control of their participation. Adopting a truly patient-centered study design means acknowledging that every patient comes in with differing needs surrounding these three tenets and addressing them throughout trial design and execution.
Decentralized Clinical Trial Tools that Increase Patient Retention
Sponsors and CROs alike understand the potential to bring trials out of the clinic and to geographically dispersed patients for better recruitment, retention and trial success. Decentralized clinical trials (DCTs) are becoming one of the most dynamic ways to expand clinical research opportunities and health outcomes globally.
