  • Thursday, November 19, 2020

The world is waiting with great anticipation as clinical trials are being conducted for COVID-19. Recruitment challenges are nothing new for study teams, but for sponsors conducting COVID-19 trials, they are magnified under the watchful eyes of the world.

In this webinar, TrialScope will pull back the curtain on a novel approach to clinical trial recruitment, revealing how one sponsor embraced a new technology platform that enabled it to flip the recruitment funnel to accelerate patient referrals, fill diversity gaps, and reduce site and patient burden.

Traditional recruitment methods are not keeping pace with demand, nor are they providing the diversity of participants required by research. We will share why this new, alternative approach – using data, innovative referral & pre-screening technology and activating multiple recruitment partners simultaneously – was the answer.
