Recruiting study participants continues to be the most critical part of the clinical trial process while also being the most difficult to successfully execute. 

During Forte’s 2017 national survey of over 900 clinical research professionals, recruiting enough participants to trial was identified as one of the top three pain points in clinical trial conduct.

Additionally, Centerwatch routinely reports half of trials recruit zero participants and 75% do not reach recruitment targets. 

This talk will take a closer look at this vital aspect of clinical trial operations using the following learning objectives:

• review models and methods of recruiting clinical trial participants
• revisit the composition of the recruitment pool and alignment with optimizing the generalizability of clinical research data
• identify and strategize around the practical, logistical and ethical components of clinical trial participant recruitment
