Industry is embracing the importance of diversifying the clinical trial patient population in an increasingly challenging recruitment landscape. The pharmaceutical industry's involvement with patient groups has historically focused on one-way communications, typically offering short-term results. A combination of new media and strategic communications leads to richer community engagement and increased responses.
Learning Objective : Demonstrate the role of patient-centered strategies in overcoming challenges and identifying opportunities that impact a drug’s development; Describe the importance of strategic partnerships; Apply best practices learned from innovative educational campaigns; Discuss how to spring-board the voice of patients into the development of clinical trials.
