Site Networks & Support

Clinical Trial Site Support

Sites are the cornerstone of successful patient recruitment and retention, and our sites enhance efficiency, reach, and quality.

Diversity & Inclusion - Patient Recruitment

Special Patient Populations

Ensuring diversity and access to special patient populations for clinical trial participation is essential as people of different ages, races, ethnicities, genders, socioeconomic backgrounds, geographic locations, and disease characteristics may experience treatments differently.

Frequently Asked Questions About Clinical Trial Recruitment

Patient recruitment involves identifying and enrolling eligible participants into a clinical trial, while patient retention focuses on maintaining patient engagement throughout the study. Both are essential to generating the high-quality clinical evidence needed to demonstrate a therapy's safety and efficacy, support regulatory approval, and help sponsors achieve critical development milestones.
Patient retention is essential to generating complete and reliable data needed to evaluate a therapy’s safety and efficacy. High retention rates reduce missing data, strengthen study validity, avoid study delays, and improve the quality of trial results.
Common challenges include identifying eligible patients, raising awareness of clinical trials, increasing competition for participants, reaching diverse populations, meeting complex eligibility criteria, and keeping participants engaged throughout the study. Travel requirements, time commitments, and limited access to trial sites can also affect recruitment and retention, especially in rare disease and global clinical trials.
