  • Wednesday, March 27, 2024

Participant representation in research can be improved by offering clinical trials in community healthcare settings, known as community-based research, leading to better access to new care options for patients that have been historically not included in clinical trials.

Through insightful discussions and case studies, discover how fostering partnerships with local communities can enhance clinical trials, drive medical innovation and ultimately accelerate drug development.

This webinar is the first in this series to learn more about Circuit Clinical’s Community Research Network and how community healthcare can provide a new source of patients and doctors to participate in research that allows pharmaceutical companies to achieve new goals in clinical trial representation.

The featured speakers will focus on community-based research, defining what community-based research is as well as its significance in the pharmaceutical landscape.

Attendees will learn about:

  • How community-based research sites differ from traditional research models at academic medical centers and dedicated research sites
  • How pharmaceutical sponsors and contract research organizations (CROs) can gain value from these sites
  • Some of the challenges that community research sites can pose
  • Factors to consider when selecting a community research site

Don’t miss this opportunity to gain a comprehensive understanding through our three-part series of the symbiotic relationship between sponsors, patients, Physicians and community-based research sites, paving the way for a more inclusive and impactful future in medical research.
