Do you know what the number one issue keeping 65,000 patients from joining a clinical trial is? How would you change your protocol design if you could proactively understand the views of 3,000 patients with the specific indication for your trial? What will adding an overnight stay do to your enrollment? You picked the right investigator sites, do you know if your patients are willing to travel that far for a visit?
Patient Centricity has been a buzz word within the pharma landscape for over 10 years and has been adopted and implemented in different ways. At Covance we are committed to incorporating the voice of the patient to encourage more widespread participation and retention in clinical studies. Our patient intelligence platform continues to gain significant momentum with real-life success case studies that have shown a direct impact to our sponsors, their protocols and ultimately the most important people, our patients.
