Recruiting full panels on-time is crucial to efficiently progressing through clinical development. With the increasing need for adaptive/complex clinical trials and the use of special populations earlier in development, clinical research providers are focusing on implementing more effective recruitment strategies.
This webinar will highlight a solutions-based approach to filling large panels for complex trials, while incorporating special populations in a high volume environment. We will elaborate on how we have used our database optimization as well as study-specific recruitment strategies to ensure panels are filled quickly and efficiently, while maintaining a 98% recruitment performance.
Specifically using three case studies focusing on special populations (Hypogonadal males, Type I/II Diabetes and Post-Menopausal women), we will demonstrate how optimal recruitment strategies can be effectively used to meet increasingly complex participant requirements in early stage clinical development.
