In its ongoing commitment to patients, Merck KGaA, Darmstadt, Germany, which operates its healthcare business as EMD Serono in the US and Canada, has launched a dedicated clinical trials website using the TrialScope Engage™ platform.
To ensure that the site’s content meets the needs of patients and the public, Merck worked closely with the Center for Information and Study on Clinical Research Participation (CISCRP). The website features answers to commonly asked questions, videos and personal accounts to allay patients’ fears.
In this webinar, a speaker from Merck will share why this became an organizational priority, its approach to the creation of the website and lessons learned along the way. A speaker from CISCRP will discuss how it obtained patient input and how that feedback guided content creation. Finally, a speaker from TrialScope will explain how its technology — syncing clinical trial data to the website and generating robust search functionality — helps patients find and enroll in relevant trials, and keep participants informed of study updates and results.
