A clinical trial rescue is one that, for any number of reasons, is not meeting expectations and requires a “reboot.” The trial may need to be accelerated or may need process failures corrected.

Duchenne muscular dystrophy (also referred to simply as “Duchenne”) is a rare genetic disorder characterized by a progressive loss of muscle due to alterations of dystrophin, a protein that helps keep muscles intact. When dystrophin is altered or absent, muscles are not able to function properly.

Joint swelling, or arthritis, is one of the most common complications of Crohn's that takes place outside of the digestive tract.

Clinical trial recruitment companies have a lot to be excited about in 2022. Sponsors and study teams have shifted toward decentralized clinical trial models, which has placed a renewed focus on the rapidly evolving digital space to cast a wide recruitment net. We outline three strategies that clinical trial patient recruitment companies will use in 2022.

As 2021 wraps up and 2022 begins, we wanted to give a shoutout to all of our partners: Thank you for doing all the instrumental work you do day in and day out!
