Outsourcing in Clinical Trials Pacific Northwest 2018
16-17 October 2018, Vancouver, BC
Traditional Process of Clinical Trials
Clinical trials are naturally time-consuming and can last a very long time (years). In the past, patient data was recorded manually using case report forms (CRFs) and patient reported outcomes (PROs). Arguably, these aren’t the most efficient ways of collecting data as it was hard to keep tabs on every patient if something or someone responded differently to a drug.
In the past, some people didn’t even consider clinical trials as a possibility. A survey by Harris Interactive in spring 2000 showed that 8 out of 10 cancer patients were unaware that clinical trials were an option.
Traditional clinical trial procedures are definitely outdated and need to grow with society. The way in which patients were recruited and informed about clinical trial opportunities were not as efficient. The lack of trust between the patients and sponsors significantly affects the patient recruitment process.
