ICON plc, (NASDAQ: ICLR) a global provider of drug and device
development and commercialisation services to the pharmaceutical,
biotechnology and medical device industries, today announced the

patients with study specific information and connectivity with the

Patient recruitment specialists work with sponsors to develop
outreach programs that incorporate the right mix of digital
channels, traditional methods and patient advocacy partnerships to
attract patients to a study branded website hosted on the platform.
An easy to navigate, user friendly interface guides the patient to
new and ongoing studies in their particular indication and a
pre-qualification questionnaire helps to determine if the study is
a right fit for them. If the patient decides to register interest,
they are given the option to select their nearest investigative
site. This establishes connection with the site and the patient can
then choose to contact the site or ask to be contacted for
pre-screening.
By being able to access the mobile optimised website at home,
patients are able to discuss the possibility of trial participation
as a clinical care option with their family and caregivers. Making
it easier for the patient to register interest will increase access
to potential patients for sponsors. The platform will also enable
site staff to see the number of pre-qualification questionnaires
completed in near real-time to monitor and report on progress to
sponsors.
“Access to patients continues to be the biggest challenge for
sponsors, impacting speed to market and overall drug development
costs,” commented EB McLindon, Senior VP Site & Patient
Solutions, “We have used our understanding of patients gained
through managing thousands of trials to develop this patient
engagement platform and ease the burden on sites and patients. This
will increase the predictability and speed of patient
recruitment”.
