How to Overcome Trial Planning and Patient Recruitment Challenges

In 2023, a pharmaceutical company focused on the development of advanced treatments for respiratory, special care and rare disease patients identified a significant gap in the digital footprint of its clinical research, which impacted patient recruitment efficiency and the ability to foster strong relationships with trial stakeholders.

This led the organization to evaluate its internal processes and implement new strategies to enhance clinical trial awareness and enrollment. The initiative focused on addressing both technical and operational challenges to improve recruitment outcomes and overall trial efficiency. Through this effort, valuable insights were obtained, which will inform the launch of an upcoming US-based asthma study in 2025, featuring an environmentally friendly inhaler.

Attendees will gain practical strategies to overcome common internal and external challenges in clinical trial planning and recruitment, including securing leadership buy-in and allocating appropriate budgets, developing and adhering to aggressive timelines, scaling effective cross-functional collaboration across teams and managing the diverse approaches to clinical research across trial sites.

Register for this webinar today to obtain insights to improve trial planning, stakeholder engagement and patient recruitment outcomes.
