Patient adherence is an emerging topic and a matter of concern in clinical research. Patient adherence can apply to several different clinical trial facets which may include adherence to study procedures, study visit compliance, medications, and adverse event reporting to name a few.

Optimizing study protocols and improving data quality have been notable areas of focus in the biopharmaceutical industry; the total number of endpoints in a typical Phase III protocol increased from 7 to 13, the number of eligibility criteria rose from 31 to 50, and the number of investigative sites increased from 124 to 196, yet the total number of patients randomized declined from 729 to 597 from 2002-2012, respectively.

After decades of promise, we have begun to realize the fruit of “-omics” technology. Recent advances in proteomics, genomics and metabolomics have enabled us to understand the molecular basis of disease at both the diagnostic and treatment levels. Equally important, a growing suite of biomarkers now provides predictive value for diagnosis, disease progression and cure/remission.

Satisfaction surveys provide clinicians valuable insight into quality-of-care metrics. However, in order for satisfaction surveys to be most useful and yield meaningful results that can improve patient outcomes and well being, the responses must be truthful and accurately reflect the respondent’s inherent satisfaction. To achieve this goal, it is important that the survey be constructed and administered properly.

Drug development has never before been so difficult, time consuming and expensive. Accuracy in clinical trials, therefore, is a priority. However, suboptimal adherence is prevalent in ambulatory trials, in which outpatients are responsible for taking the drug according to the protocol-specified dosing regimen.

That intriguing question raises important issues about how widespread patient sharing of information over the Internet can both support and undermine efforts to obtain meaningful results from biopharmaceutical research studies. Disease group chat rooms, instant messaging and Facebook pages can help recruit patients to clinical trials and make them feel part of a community making an important contribution to health and science.
How Digital Technology and Remote Assessment Strategies Can Aid Clinical Trial Research
July 24th 2020While there's been hopeful news on treatments and vaccines, sponsors should plan to discuss necessary strategies and contingencies at the outset of new studies or re-opening of halted studies during the COVID-19 pandemic.
