Achieving
success in this environment requires trial sponsors to play a larger role in
the recruitment process and to develop more collaborative working relationships
with all stakeholders, including investigators and patients.
This conference
is focused on strategies and innovations for improving patient recruitment and
retention and it will provide the delegates with specific examples of new
strategies in patient recruitment & retention and the opportunity to
benchmark best practices with industry leaders.
Conference topics

workshop will focus on retention strategies.
Patient non-compliance can run as high as 80% and up to 40% of patients
are lost to follow up in a clinical trial costing time and money.

into the 21st Century is looking into developing
a forward thinking approach, considering public perception with
respect to clinical trials, and looking into web-based recruitment.
