Patient recruitment and retention are critical to drug development programs. Patient recruitment if not adequately planned for can extend development time-lines by a number of years. Retention of patients throughout the life of a clinical trial is essential in order have complete data sets for analysis and subsequent filings.
|

Patient recruitment now takes up 23% of the total clinical trial timeline and, worryingly, this percentage is rising (Cutting Edge Information, 2009). The industry needs a front-line assessment of how things work in the physician's office, what motivates patients, how pharmaceutical service providers perform, and data on the most effective techniques for patient recruitment and retention; this conference aims to deliver just that.
Join us for SMi's 6th annual Accelerating Patient Recruitment & Retention in Clinical Trials and delve into the latest developments in patient recruitment and retention and learn how the Internet and social media can be utilised to enhance your recruitment and retention with interactive sessions aimed at voicing multiple points of view and experiences.
