Applying Data Analytics and a Decentralized Trial Platform for More Efficient Patient-Centric Trials

Life Sciences, Clinical Trials, Patient Recruitment & Retention,
  • Tuesday, February 25, 2020

Finding the right patients and the right clinical trial sites can be a challenge for any clinical trial. Coupled with the competition for qualified and available sites within a specific therapeutic area, drug development sponsors may also face a shortage of qualified patients to study.

Analysis of real-world data can help sponsors design more patient-centric study protocols that are optimized to patients’ needs and reduce the burden of participation. Patient data can also help sponsors pinpoint new geographical locations of patient populations and match those patients to qualified sites by looking beyond historical performance and accounting for disease incidence and protocol-evaluable patient density information. Taken together, these data can increase the predictability of recruitment timelines — a key factor in improving the overall efficiency of a trial.

Join this free webinar on data analytics to learn how large datasets of diagnostic information, central laboratory results and de-identified patient data can help evaluate protocol inclusion/exclusion criteria and even minimize screen failure rates. The featured speakers will also discuss how a cohesive hybrid and virtual clinical trials solution can redefine the patient experience to increase participation.

Along with incorporating the voice of the patient, we will cover data interoperability, mobile health (mHealth) technologies and effective analytical techniques to support recruitment forecasting and evaluate investigator performance with granular details related to patients enrolled, start-up cycle times and data quality.

Learn how these combined elements in a decentralized trial platform can help sponsors enable a more confident, data-driven recruitment process for their next clinical trial.
