Site and Sponsor Recruitment Preparations Prior to the Investigator Meeting - Second in a Patient Recruitment Webinar Series

24 April 2008, United States

Introduction

Many sponsors and CROs do not have clinical research associates with the expertise to conduct optimal site selection and site initiation. Sub-optimal site selection and inadequate training in enrollment and retention contribute to prolonged study enrollment and lower subject retention rates which increase both the cost and duration of the study. Any increase in the ability of sites to forecast, recruit, and retain a higher percentage of the original allocation of subjects will result in significant cost savings to a sponsor and a potential decrease in cycle time.
