Clinical research is not functioning optimally. It takes 7-13 years to develop a new drug, with 85% of trials missing their targeted timelines, most having less than 15% minority representation, and some having as high as a 30% dropout rate.1 The industry has tried several approaches to mitigate these problems, one of the most recent being decentralized clinical trials (DCTs). Trials with decentralized elements — coined “optimized trials” — do help with common research challenges, evidenced by their widespread, growing adoption.2,3 Why? Because they prioritize accessing the patient in the right location at the right time to expand access.
Join the Elligo Elite Learning Series presentation “Patient-Centric Research: How Optimized Trials Enhance Patient Enrollment, Retention, and More” for an in-depth discussion of optimized trials and how they lead to more efficiency and successful patient enrollment, retention, and diversity. The roundtable will feature Elligo Health Research® experts Barry Simms, CEO; Dr. Faith Holmes, Chief Medical Officer: Jacylyn Dougherty, Chief Product & Technology Officer; and Leslie Carney, Senior Director, Patient Support Recruitment & Marketing. The panelists will introduce the concept of optimized trials, offering detailed explanations of the benefits of using a mix of DCT elements and traditional sites as well as research technology and centralized oversight. They will also dig into the importance of the trusted patient–physician relationship in both healthcare and research, explaining how optimized trials harness this relationship to accelerate the development of new medicines and therapies. Finally, the experts will walk through the possible challenges of running an optimized or virtual-first trial, from managing technology to patient recruitment and recent feedback from FDA, and provide solutions for each that have been proven in real-world research.
Optimized trials are the best way to solve research’s biggest challenges, but only if we take advantage of them. Get the information you need to implement these new techniques in the Elligo Elite Learning Series presentation “Patient-Centric Research: How Optimized Trials Enhance Patient Enrollment, Retention, and More.”
