Recruitment and retention may appear to be simplistic in their primary functions. However, for these two processes to be successful, they must be applied in a way that resonates with the individuals that are stepping up to participate, whether that be out of a desire to impact the health of others or to provide treatment options for their own health condition. By adding people to the equation, we are adding variables of infinite complexity. Thus, an absence of process or lack of experience in one area can significantly affect others, leading to a cascade of problems that undermine recruitment and retention plans.
In this video interview, Shaalan Beg, MD, MBA, FASCO, chief medical officer at ConcertAI, explains why trial availability, shaped heavily by zip code, is the biggest barrier to enrollment and how access patterns mirror broader healthcare disparities.
In this Q&A, James Cheong, senior vice president of Asia Pacific at Precision for Medicine, discusses why outdated perceptions of APAC sites persist among smaller biotechs, how China’s regulatory reforms have reshaped Phase III startup timelines, and what first-time sponsors need to get right in the region.
In today’s ACT Brief, we examine three priorities for first-time APAC sponsors, how continuous glucose monitoring should be used in diabetes trials, and why FDA is requiring a new eye-related warning across GLP-1 medications.
In this video interview, James Cheong, senior vice president of Asia Pacific at Precision for Medicine, shares three priorities for first-time APAC sponsors: aligning with marketing authorization plans, selecting the right sites, and choosing a CRO with regional experience and KOL networks.
FDA and EMA expectations shape how sponsors use CGM in diabetes trials, from blinding and study-provisioned devices to data integrity and ePRO integration.
In today’s ACT Brief, we examine why APAC is attractive for global Phase III programs, how clinical research professionals can turn a failed pivotal trial into a redesigned success, and how FDA approved Sunharbo to reduce recurrent stroke risk.
A pivotal trial that missed its primary endpoint became the basis for a successful redesign after the team used the data to define the high-risk patients most likely to benefit, showing that setbacks can strengthen development when organizations interrogate the evidence rather than abandon it.
In this video interview, James Cheong, senior vice president of Asia Pacific at Precision for Medicine, outlines why faster recruitment, local data requirements for registration, and lower costs make APAC attractive for global Phase III programs.
