Praxis Patient Recruitment Campaign Saves 15 Months in Trial
Brentwood, Tenn.-February 5, 2009-Praxis, a company specializing in centralized patient recruitment for clinical research studies, recently provided patient recruitment services to a global pharmaceutical company for a study to test an investigational medication for a mental health indication. The recruitment program saved a combined 15 months for the 2-protocol program and delivered an 891% return on investment for one protocol and 539% return on investment for the second protocol.
Through Praxis’ upfront protocol feasibility analysis and target audience research, a customized & integrated marketing campaign was developed to increase awareness of the study in the communities surrounding the 90 participating clinical research sites. With only 75% of potential sites activating, 97% of total screenings and randomizations came from the Praxis supported sites utilizing the strategic marketing campaign which consisted of direct to patient branded advertising, on-site recruitment materials and electronic/online strategies.
Additionally, a comprehensive retention campaign was launched to encourage study compliance and completion by each subject. This resulted in a 91% retention rate-which is 30% greater than the industry average for phase III studies.
Praxis Communications, Inc., headquartered in Brentwood, Tenn., provides the pharmaceutical and biotech industries with a wide range of global services for patient recruitment and retention for clinical trials including patient profiling, recruitment planning, centralized fulfillment, media relations, advertising, and program management.
