Praxis, the Brentwood, TN-based centralized patient recruitment and retention company, announced the status of a current recruitment and retention program for a top pharmaceutical company currently studying a mental health issue in Phase III.
Praxis is providing services for two studies in Phase III, for which it had successfully completed a prior Phase III recruitment initiative. While the trials seek different patient populations, they are complimentary. Because of this, Praxis was able to develop an umbrella program for the sponsor under which both protocols can be effectively and simulatneously recruited. Based on the umbrella program, the sponsor was able to save $1.8 million in clinical program costs.
Praxis used both past experience in mental health studies, with the predictive modleing of its PraxisDirect 2.0 software to design the program to meet enrollment goals. Nearly 2,000 patients will be randomized across 75 sites within a nine-month period. Praxis has experience with mental health areas including bipolar depression, major depressive disorder (MDD), and bipolar mania.
Behind the Buzz: Why Clinical Research Leaders Flock to SCOPE Summit
February 7th 2025In this episode, we meet with Micah Lieberman, Executive Conference Director for SCOPE Summit (Summit for Clinical Ops Executives) at Cambridge Innovation Institute. We will dive deep into the critical role of collaboration within the clinical research ecosystem. How do we bring together diverse stakeholders—sponsors, CROs, clinical trial tech innovators, suppliers, patients, sites, advocacy organizations, investors, and non-profits—to share best practices in trial design, program planning, innovation, and clinical operations? We’ll explore why it’s vital for thought leaders to step beyond their own organizations and learn from others, exchanging ideas that drive advancements in clinical research. Additionally, we’ll discuss the pivotal role of scientific conferences like SCOPE Summit in fostering these essential connections and collaborations, helping shape the future of clinical trials. Join us as we uncover how collective wisdom and cross-industry partnerships are transforming the landscape of clinical research.
