Inquiry

Patient recruitment is a critical component of clinical research. Protheragen, with its deep expertise in the clinical research domain, offers a comprehensive suite of patient recruitment solutions to address the evolving needs of the pharmaceutical and medical research industry.

Introduction to Patient Recruitment

Patient recruitment is a fundamental clinical research activity necessary for locating, contacting, and convincing patients to consent to participate in clinical studies. It is multifarious and has many dimensions that call for extensive knowledge of the patient population that is under study, its protocol, and the healthcare system in general. The efficacy of a clinical trial is dependent on the capacity to enrol an adequate amount of eligible individuals in good time. This guarantees the credibility of the outcomes of the study which subsequently speeds up the process of new therapies getting developed and approved.

Patient Recruitment in Clinical Research

The process of recruiting patients becomes a sensitive aspect of the drug development process. During the first stage of clinical trials, healthy volunteers or patients partake in a thorough safety and tolerability evaluation all while involving a limited set of individuals. If the drug is recruited actively during this phase, then its pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics are also active during this period, ensuring a strong foundation for any subsequent testing.

In Phase II and III trials, the drug's efficacy is tested while also running parallel tests with already existing treatments for the drug. There exists a detailed strategy to recruit a large sample size while also ensuring diversity among the recruited individuals; this would help in attributing the therapeutic efficacy and side effects caused by the drug. The gathered data is necessary to allow for drug regulation in the market.

Our Services

Uniquely understanding each investigator initiated trial (IIT) and clinical trial, at Protheragen we have integration of scientific precision and deep understanding of the clinical research environment. We provide multiple channels for recruitment and meet compliance and regulatory requirements, providing services such as patient education and communication to maximize patient recruitment in the shortest possible time and ensure appropriate trials are implemented.

Database Management

We concentrate on the research participants database. It comprises individuals suffering from an expansive collection of illnesses and every social demographic. Best of all, it helps to recruit the candidates in less time, because when needed, it is easy to search and contact the right candidates for the trial.

Targeted Advertising

Based on the analytics and market research, we manage to come up with targeted adverts aimed at potential participants using different channels such as social media and community centers. The ad campaigns are aimed at ensuring that the trial is advertised, and people who fulfil the set requirements are found and recruited for candidacy.

Pre-screening

The medical specialists affiliated with the trial precisely pre-offer patients meeting the study inclusion criteria and exclude patients meeting the exclusion criteria from joining the trial sites. Whenever participating resources are specialized procedures, pre-selection is highly essential since it augments the cohort of patients needed for the research, ensuring the viability of the results of the research.

Community Engagement

More importantly, community engagement helps to build trust and maintain healthy relationships with people that live in the targeted area. Communicating with patient networks, healthcare providers, and relevant organizations helps us to organize informative campaigns explaining to potential candidates for clinical trials about the advantages of these kinds of research and try to dispel their myths and concerns about participation.

Site Support

Our site management strives to give off-site assistance to trial locations by managing the registration of subjects, providing logistical and communication support between the trial location and the recruiting center. Such support greatly reduces the chances of possible postponement concerning the application process if done correctly.

Personalized Service

Every clinical trial is different, and in this respect, we are aware that one size does not fit all. Accordingly, we equip each study with the personnel and tools required to accomplish its case-specific recruitment goals as devised by doctors and sponsors.

Our devotion at Protheragen is to ensure that higher quality recruitment services are provided to aid in the advancement of the medical field. With our array of services as well as the strategic level of input we give, ranging from resource facilitation to market analysis, all guarantee top-tier performance at every clinical trial we are part of. If you are interested in our services, please feel free to contact us.
