Operationally, patient recruitment involves targeting the right patients with the right messages and retaining enrolled patients with effective ‘customer service’. However, patient recruitment also impacts on crucial strategic objectives involving the planning of trial protocols and the management of risk.

One of most significant challenges associated with clinical trial recruitment is managing the relationships between the different partners who each play an essential role in recruiting and retaining patients. It is not unusual for late stage clinical trial recruitment to involve a partnership between the trial sponsor, a dedicated contract research organization, a patient recruitment agency, a communications agency and clinical investigators at the trial sites themselves. A significant amount of planning and coordination is required to bring each party together and deliver on their respective objectives.

As a result of the critical importance of patient recruitment, and the inherent complexity of dealing with agency and clinical partners, as well as managing the expectations of patients, it has become a distinct area of potential competitive advantage. In the same way that alliance management or sales force deployment have helped some companies to develop competitive advantages, those companies best able to deliver on their patient recruitment and retention objectives will enjoy a comparative advantage in late stage clinical trial delivery, completing trials with greater levels of cost-efficiency, timeliness and success.
