This Best Practice in Patient Recruitment report displays what percentages of patients are recruited from and where.
The stakes are high when it comes to clinical trials. Each day a trial goes beyond its intended deadline delays treatment for patients who would benefit from the medication and puts the sponsor organization at risk for lost revenue. Industry Standard Research’s Best Practices in Patient Recruitment report, based off of primary research with sponsors, CROs, and sites, includes an in-depth analysis of the industry’s strategies for completing a trial on-time and within budget.
One of the key findings in the report relates back to the use of specialized patient recruitment firms. According to both sponsors and CROs, engaging a specialized patient recruitment firm is a better value than adding more sites to the study. This is, in part, due to specialized recruitment firms having their own database of patients-one of the most important resources when recruiting for a clinical trial. As detailed in the chart below, the bulk of patients currently come from Existing patients at sites / in-house patient databases. While this is predicted to remain true for the next two years, respondents anticipate a smaller proportion of patients will come from in-house site databases by 2018.
“Currently, what percentage of your patients are recruited directly via the following sources? Your responses should add to 100%.”
