Table of Contents Why are patient recruitment and retention important for clinical trials? A clinical study’s purpose is to answer a research question. To do so, researchers must recruit appropriate participants and retain as many as possible for the period specified in the protocol. If recruitment or retention is insufficient, a study may not… Continue reading Patient Recruitment in Clinical Trials
Table of Contents Despite its critical nature, decision-making in research centers often relies on traditional methods, leading to inefficiencies and errors. This blog discusses how real-time, data-driven decision-making is transforming the clinical research landscape. It highlights the crucial role of dashboards in optimizing operational efficiency, improving patient outcomes, and streamlining the clinical trial execution process.… Continue reading The Power of Data in Clinical Trial Execution Decision Making
Table of Contents Since 2010, regulatory bodies globally have expressed interest or provided written guidance on their expectations regarding the electronic source document (eSource). What is an electronic source document? eSource refers to using electronic systems and devices to capture, collect, and store data during clinical trials. This includes direct data entry by patients, healthcare… Continue reading Why implement electronic source documents (eSource) in clinical research centers?
Cancer is a leading cause of death in Latin America, with the region experiencing an alarming rise in cases. It is projected that by 2040, 9 out of 10 of the most populous nations in Latin America will see an increase of at least 64% in the number of people diagnosed with cancer annually. This… Continue reading Cancer Research in Latin America
New medical treatments haven’t reached everyone equally. Why? A lack of diversity in clinical trials. African Americans make up 13% of the US population but only 5% of clinical trial participants. Similarly, Hispanics are vastly underrepresented, comprising 15% of the population but just 1% of trial participants. (1) This disparity has real-world consequences. Treatments… Continue reading Why Diversity in Clinical Trials Matters
Clinical trial participation is the core of future medical advances. But for sites, recruiting patients in clinical trials and conducting them on the journey is usually a challenging task, driving to nearly 80% of trials failing to meet on-time enrollment (1). In a digital era, technology is at the service of improved trial participation and… Continue reading Six Benefits of Automating the Recruiting Flow in Clinical Trials
Table of Contents What is eConsent and How Does it Improve Clinical Trials? We all recognize the vital role informed consent plays in clinical trials. These trials operate under a complex set of regulations governing how consent is obtained. It is estimated that eConsent implementation in clinical trials reduce the time spent on consent-related tasks… Continue reading eConsent Software for Optimal Clinical Trials
