Industry interviews gleaned valuable insight into recruitment and retention challenges; with over 80% of respondents identifying working with research sites as their largest struggle in recruiting patients for their trials. By taking a proactive approach to subject enrollment and truly understanding the patient and how to reach them, organizations will realize faster recruitment rates, resulting in shorter time to approval and market.

This conference program will address the challenges companies face in selecting clinical trial sites and provide timely solutions to these pressing challenges through the presentation of peer-to-peer case study presentations from executives in the industry successfully meeting their recruitment goals and clinical endpoints.

By addressing a range of topics related to the best practices in clinical recruitment, this conference program will provide attendees with the vital information needed to achieve ideal enrollment and retention. Building upon early Q1 successes including the Regulatory Affairs in Medical Device Clinical Research conference this program promises to be a beneficial, highly-interactive, experience.
