Missing patients, and therefore their data, pose a threat to clinical trials. This missing patient data increases the risk of additional queries from regulatory agencies regarding the potential effect on the endpoint data and therefore the significance of the safety and efficacy findings. Study sites often lack the resources and time to find patients who are lost to follow-up (LTFU). Although there are patient tracking services available, they vary in their effectiveness in both finding, and then retaining, patients. Consideration of how to mitigate missing data from missing patients in the initial planning phase of a clinical trial can help identify how to avoid missing patients in the first place and how best to find patients who do drop out.
