#361: Recruitment Optimization in Clinical Trials: Looking Towards an Adaptive Future
Component Type: Session
Level: Basic
CE: ACPE 1.00 Knowledge UAN: 0286-0000-24-661-L04-P; CME 1.00; RN 1.00

Recruitment is a significant building block of clinical trials and also one of the greatest challenges, often having a direct influence on trial success or failure. In-efficiencies associated with patient recruitment may lead to prolonged trial durations, increased costs, and delays in bringing effective treatments to market. This session will explore methods for predicting the effect of different recruitment patterns on trial progression, outcomes and likelihood of the trial to meet its goals and present newly available technologies and trial design measures for successfully advancing recruitment.

Learning Objectives

Describe the considerations of recruitment rate optimization in clinical trials and adaptive trials in particular; Discuss the available technologies and methodologies for optimizing recruitment via dedicated software, patient advocacies, databases and registries and the evaluation of trade-offs between trial duration and sample size requirements within a variety of adaptive trial designs as compared with standard fixed designs.
