Live Webinar on June 27: Beyond the Data – A Patient-Led Perspective on Clinical Trials
DATE
April 18, 2023
Munich – Tuesday, April 18 2023 – eClinical Software company Climedo is inviting professionals from pharmaceutical companies and CROs to join a free webcast about the patient perspective in clinical trials this summer. “Climedo Connect: Beyond the Data – A Patient-Led Perspective on Clinical Trials” takes place on June 27 at 4pm CET (3pm BST).
Clinical trials are a vital part of medical research, but can often be daunting for the patient, not least due to the complexity, potential risks and overall lack of transparency. For this reason, many patients face significant barriers when considering participation, while sponsors often struggle with drop-outs later on in the trial. Climedo’s upcoming webinar will explore why the patient perspective is so important when designing clinical trials, how to better engage patients on a long-term basis and the role of digital technology in the process.
During the 60-minute webcast, Climedo will present the key findings of its recent survey which was conducted among 124 patients. The survey analyzed barriers to trial participation, what patients value most in trials, how much contact they would like with trial sites and how often, as well as which technologies they would like to use as part of a trial. Throughout the session, the results will be discussed with Jen Rose, a patient advocate and creator of Me (and IBD), a coloring journal for young people with an IBD (irritable bowel disease) diagnosis. Attendees will have the chance to share their views in various audience live polls and ask the experts any questions they may have about the patient journey in clinical trials. The webcast will end with a discussion and all registrants will receive the webinar slides and recording afterwards.
Registration for the live event is free via this link.
