Trial Participant Communications

As clinical trial protocol designs increase in complexity, it becomes more difficult to recruit eligible participants and retain them for the full duration of trials.¹ Patients want more communication about their trial. Receiving regular updates on the progress of their clinical trial ranks as the most important long-term retention factor.² Trial participants not only want to receive trial results, they also want to be updated regularly during the often extensive period between the last site visit and the completion of the trial.

CISCRP develops and delivers printed communications to trial sites to provide updates to participants about their trial and general education on a variety of clinical trial topics, such as blinding, placebo, phases of research, and different types of trials. Implement this program for a single study or standardize a systematic process to provide study-specific communications to participants via study sites or participant-facing portals.
