Let's talk medical research

When recruiting for a clinical trial, conducting effective outreach is an important component. However, once the initial contact is made with patients, it’s just as important that they are guided through the enrollment process.

Rheumatoid arthritis, also known as RA, is a chronic, autoimmune disease that primarily impacts the joints. It impacts 1.5 million people in the United States, with women being three times more likely to develop the condition. While RA does not typically exhibit symptoms early on, it becomes more impactful as it progresses, causing pain, swelling, stiffness, and an eventual loss of joint ...

Finding the right participants is essential to successful medical research, but unfortunately, many studies are unable to reach their targeted enrollment numbers with ease. Recruiting enough participants is often cited as one of the biggest clinical trial recruitment challenges, and many studies must be delayed or canceled due to a lack of randomizations.

Primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) is a condition that impacts the bile ducts of the liver, causing them to become inflamed and ultimately scar. It primarily affects young and middle-aged men, and 80% of patients with PSC also have inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).

Helping patients find out about clinical trials is one of the chief pillars of the work Antidote does, and one of the ways we do this is through our partners. By building a network of nonprofits and patient advocacy groups, we are able to reach patients where they are and help them find clinical trial opportunities that may be a good fit.

In the age of the internet, effective clinical trial digital advertising is imperative to finding the right participants for a research study. Being able to reach patients where they are using outreach material that resonates is vital — but it doesn’t happen without smart, data-driven strategies.

Persistent corneal epithelial defects are more than just an eye injury. The corneal epithelium is an integral part of the eye, tasked with guarding against infection and structural damage. While most injuries to the corneal epithelium are able to heal within a week, these persistent injuries will continue well past the seven-day mark. If they remain unresponsive to standard treatments, the ...

One of the key challenges in medical research is successful patient enrollment. It is not uncommon for trials to fall behind schedule due to low patient engagement — but by creating a recruitment and enrollment strategy centered on patient-centricity, more successful research processes can be made possible. Below, we are exploring some of the top ways to do just that.

Primary biliary cholangitis (PBC) is a rare, chronic liver disease that impacts 58 out of every 100,000 women and 15 out of every 100,000 men in the United States. It typically progresses slowly, exhibiting no symptoms during the first several years — but in later stages, it can cause debilitating symptoms such as fatigue, itchiness, abdominal pain, swelling of the limbs, jaundice, osteoporosis, ...

At Antidote, our mission is to connect patients with clinical trials is only possible when we understand the individuals that make up the patient population. One way we are able to gain this understanding is by providing our clinical trial search tool, Antidote Match, at no cost to over 300 organizations that we partner with.
