Dear Colleagues:

Every day is an opportunity to engage potential study volunteers in a dialogue about clinical research and participation opportunities.   Whether it is from direct outreach, healthcare professionals, caregivers, or advocacy groups, the potential exists for improving clinical trial recruitment and retention rates.

Advanced Learning Institute developed this conference to address ongoing and evolving engagement challenges and to promote interaction with subject matter experts. It is an ideal forum for learning, sharing and discussion.

Patient recruitment is not static – it is continually evolving.  The challenge is cutting through the “clutter” to reach and engage our target audiences about clinical research.  There is a continual need to refine recruitment messaging and develop new strategies and tactics. 

In addition to the inherent challenges of competing studies and increasingly more complex protocols, study sponsors, CROs, and solution providers must also address newer challenges, including:

• Emerging markets with diverse cultures
• Technology – leveraging assets and resources
• Segmented populations

You will hear success stories from leading organizations such as:

• ICAN (International Cancer Advocate Network) and how integrating patient advocates into the research continuum expedites clinical trials and brings the cost curve down
• Bristol-Myers Squibb and how they are addressing diversity in designing clinical trials to improve outcomes
• PAREXEL & Omniscience Mobile and how they have collaborated to bring modern technologies to the recruitment field to improve the response levels to traditional patient recruitment advertising

I encourage individuals and teams who are actively involved in patient engagement and outreach to join us as we consider and discuss real-world issues that impact patient recruitment. The presenters are a balanced cross-section of industry professionals with specialized expertise and insight. 

Please join us in this exciting opportunity to be surrounded by clinical trial colleagues and subject matter experts.  Participate in the discussions, delve into the strategies and depart the conference refreshed with ideas and information for your next recruitment program.
I look forward to meeting you!

Sincerely,

David Heck, Business Development Director, Life Sciences
