The numbers don't lie: clinical trial enrollment rates have dropped from 75% in 2000 to 59% in 2006 and retention rates have fallen from 69% to 48% during same period; delays in patient recruitment for clinical trials account for an average of 4.6 months lost per trial – an annual cumulative loss of 26 years, on average, for each company; 80% of total trials are delayed at least one month because of unfulfilled enrollment.

The bottom line? Patient recruitment as we know it just isn't working.

This audio conference presentation looks at the efforts currently used to reach recruitment goals, why they are ineffective, and why new approaches must be implemented. Our speaker shares specific strategies that can be easily implemented, and helps attendees understand the patient's perspective and how to use that awareness to make recruitment plans more effective.
