279 years ago, James Lind conducted what is widely recognised as the world’s first controlled clinical trial in the search for a cure for scurvy.
Today, finding the right patients for the right clinical trials remains one of the biggest challenges facing clinical research.
Patient recruitment and engagement continue to be a major barrier to trial completion globally. For researchers, this challenge is amplified by smaller populations, geographic constraints and increasing pressure on coordinators and study teams.
To mark International Clinical Trials Day, we are sharing how we support modern trial recruitment and the movement through better systems, smarter workflows and stronger collaboration.
At Clinrol, our focus is on delivering the best patient experience (PX) while helping research teams engage the right patients faster, improve recruitment performance and support more efficient enrolment and study delivery.
Ultimately, we believe clinical trials should be more accessible, connected and patient-centric, making it easier for patients to discover relevant research opportunities and for sites to deliver successful studies.
