Patient Recruitment: An integrated, holistic approach
You’ve spent millions getting your product to trial,
but you still need patients to fulfill your protocol...
Find, Enroll & Retain the right patients quickly and efficiently with Quintiles.
Enrolling Patients: 80% of trials fail to meet their initial enrollment quotas on time, risking losses of $600,000 to more than $8 million in revenue each day a drug is delayed.* Quintiles overcomes this challenge by leveraging our strategic site relationships and proprietary outreach tools to enroll patients for clinical trials.
Site Relationships:
Quintiles has developed strategic relationships with high performing, high enrolling sites called Prime and Partner sites. By actively managing these relationships Quintiles is able to improve enrollment.
- On average, Partner Sites enroll 30% more patients per month compared to non-partner sites.
- Quintiles has more than 1,100 Partner sites across 20 countries with a goal for each to perform multiple Quintiles studies per year.
- 4 Prime sites - Large hospitals/systems capable of enrolling hundreds of patients each per year on Quintiles studies, making enrollment more efficient and timely.
Direct Patient Outreach:
Q Recruit, Quintiles’ proprietary recruitment tool, improves enrollment by providing patients an easy and efficient way to sign-up for studies, which in turn eases the burden on the sites delivering pre-screened/pre-qualified patients directly to the sites.
Quintiles Trial Enrollment Accelerator (QTEA) is a centralized tool that improves the ability of sites to use their recruitment stipend to connect with patients by providing them with professional quality outreach tools and discounted media expenses. Centralization of the tool ensures consistent look and feel of outreach materials and allows for more robust reporting from an overall and site level perspective.
- Utilization of Quintiles outreach tools has been proven to increase enrollment rates, sometimes by up to 50%.
All Quintiles’ patient recruitment activities are designed and conducted with due consideration of the safety, ethics and data privacy responsibilities associated with clinical research on human subjects.
