Strategies for Accelerating Patient Recruitment

Pharmaceutical and Biotech companies are under tremendous pressure to cut costs when it comes to clinical trials. Conducting clinical trials is a complex process that requires coordination of regulatory, marketing and scientific needs making any delay in the process costly. Global patient recruitment is a significant and often complicated element of this process.

As the North American patient pool decreases, pharmaceutical and biotech companies are increasingly crossing their borders and pursuing patients from other countries like India and Japan. While this has resulted in an explosion of new subjects, global patient recruitment is not without its dangers and complications.

Searching internationally has subjected pharmaceutical and biotech companies to new and varying regulations, cultures, norms and expectations. In a time when every move made by life science companies is scrutinized, this new trend has left them exposed.

Join this interactive web conference to learn from industry leaders how to optimize the global patient recruitment process.

Take away points include:
