Essential Clinical Trial Tips For Recruitment And
Retention Of Patients!

• Vial Trials is one of the best clinical research
  companies that run clinical trials for MDs and
  dermatologists. We make sure to handle the hard
  stuff such as finding trials, admin, data entry,
  patients scheduling, patient recruiting,
  invoicing, and compliance.
• Successful patient recruitment is the most
  challenging aspect of a clinical trial. Clinical
  trials have been facing alarming statistics. More
  than 80 percent fail to recruit enough patients,
  80 percent are delayed due to recruitment
  problems, and the dropout rates ascend.

• You may fix this problem by constructing a
  strategy that may prove to be engaging and, at
  the same time, provides clarity.
  Successful patient recruitment and retention in
  clinical trials would start by providing
  information to potential volunteers participating
  in clinical trials. You can increase your
  retention numbers by the following
• Make sure that the patients feel appreciated.
• Should meet patients expectations.
• Their questions must also be addressed.

• You must understand the determinants for the lack
  of retention and try to improve it. This article
  will understand the recruitment and retention
  strategies to help more patients stay engaged in
  clinical trials.
• Provide Details
• You must provide your patients with all the
  details that they need from the start. Your
  outreach should be crystal clear for what the
  trial will include. The more informed the
  patients, you are likely to get more enrollment
  in the clinical trial. You should always
  incorporate safety information to set up a good
  path.

• Your information should be easy to understand for
  the patients to know what the trial is all about.
  Make sure that your team should be ready to
  answer all the patients concerns.

Meet Patients Where They Are

• Consider the places where your community spends
  most of the time. It may be online or in-person
  then choose to target accordingly. Nowadays,
  social media platforms are a great source where
  you can shift your focus. It may also help you
  connect with specific organizations to
  collaborate and reach the maximum number of
  patients.
• You may also engage your patients with email
  newsletters or apps so that they remain connected
  throughout the trial. You may also highlight the
  importance of research and even offer tips on a
  daily basis.

Dont Forget Families And Care Partners
Your information material may also speak about
the patients care partner or loved ones,
depending on the trial.  If the patients have a
family member with them, ensure to answer all the
questions and concerns. You may also specify to
help and support their loved ones too. Provide
Incentives If your trial provides an incentive
like travel cost or other compensation, you may
also highlight this in your outreach material.
Apart from this, your trial may also include
other benefits to have an impact on the
research. If you cannot provide compensation, you
should try to make your patients feel
appreciated. Make it necessary to keep the
patients engaged in a trial.

Create A Feedback Loop

• Before starting your patient recruitment and
  retention in clinical trials, connect more and
  more about the patients needs and how to address
  them. 
• Create a patient survey and get feedback. It
  would help you set a positive tone by showing
  that you value their inputs. It may also help you
  in tracking down both the positive and negative
  trends. Try to make meaningful connections
  between patients and research!
