Crossing the Finish Line
Understanding Why Participation Support is Critical to Rare Disease Trial Efficiency and Success
Unique Challenges & Opportunities
For sponsors, rare disease trials may represent a significant part – or even all – of their portfolio. For rare disease patients, clinical trials may be the only opportunity to access potential treatment.
Until now, there has been no research to understand the participation support needs of rare disease patients and caregivers.
The results of focus groups we conducted with ICON (formerly PRA) reveal the gap between the clinical trials experiences and perceptions of patients and the participation support services they receive.
