Description:
The purpose of this patient-centric symposium is to describe how patients are an important driver of innovation for clinical research. In addition to describing issues from the patient perspective, we will discuss activities that can be implemented to achieve time and cost efficiencies without sacrificing study quality. Such activities include, but are not limited to, patient protocol assessments, supplemental patient recruitment, patient retention support, alternative site clinical visits and long-term data collection post-study.
Learning Objective(s):
Define current issues in clinical trials from the patient perspective including low enrollment and high dropout rates; Summarize recommendations from the patient perspective on how to improve the quality and efficiency of clinical trials; Discuss how to integrate patient-centric activities such as protocol planning, engagement of patient organizations, supplemental patient recruitment, patient retention and long-term data collection into the clinical trial process to achieve efficiencies.
