Let's talk medical research

With clinical trial protocols becoming ever more complex, it can feel like it’s never been more difficult to find patients who are both eligible for and interested in a particular clinical trial. Traditional methods of recruitment are becoming less impactful, which is why it’s time to consider a new approach: precision recruitment.

Medicine is advancing every day, and treatments are becoming more and more precise. This is, of course, good news for patients in need of new and different treatment options. But as treatments become more targeted, so do clinical trials. It can feel like it’s never been more difficult to recruit patients to take part in clinical trials than it is today.

At Antidote, we talk a lot about how our search tool makes it easier to match with clinical trials you may qualify for. But what happens after you conduct your search?

Antidote recently conducted a survey with SCORR Marketing through which we asked nearly 4,000 patients about their perspectives on clinical trials. One key finding: patients with different conditions have different opinions on taking part in medical research. For example, in the survey, people with melanoma were joining clinical trials to extend their own lives, while those with lupus or kidney ...

With medicine getting ever more targeted and precise, clinical trial protocols are becoming more complex than ever before. While this allows for appropriate evaluation of potential treatment options, it also means that finding patients to take part in trials is increasingly challenging, and the need to look beyond traditional methods of recruitment has become clear.

During a Q3 2018 survey conducted by Antidote Technologies and SCORR Marketing, we explored specific participation stimuli to determine what could make patients consider participating in a clinical trial – and how these motivations varied by condition area.

There are conferences we attend to connect with clients. There are conferences we attend to build partnerships. At SCOPE, we are able to do both. The SCOPE Summit convenes the best, the brightest, and the most dedicated in the clinical trial operations space with one aim: to accelerate clinical research. This is why we go to SCOPE.

Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a type of high blood pressure in the lungs. A rare disease, PH is often misdiagnosed as asthma or COPD. Unfortunately, delays in diagnosis mean delays in treatment; sometimes, patients aren't diagnosed until they're in late stage disease – and by then, they have limited options.

Despite decades of research, heart disease continues to be the leading cause of death for both men and women in the United States. It’s clear that tackling cardiovascular disease requires a new approach. That’s why today, researchers and heart health advocates are taking on heart disease, stroke, and other conditions from a variety of angles, from exploring precision medicine to driving clinical ...
