The Summit for Clinical Ops Executives (SCOPE<\/a>) is one of the few conferences that focuses on the challenges of patient enrollment and retention for clinical research. This year\u2019s event, held in Orlando, FL, Feb 18-21, brought together more than 1,800 stakeholders including representatives from pharma, CROs, NIH, and an array of clinical research specialty vendors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the larger themes discussed around patient recruitment was a focus on engagement. With the increasing use of online tools, apps, wearables, and online communities, how can we engage with participants from enrollment to randomization, through a study, and even after a study\u2019s conclusion? Clinical research is no longer viewed as a commodity, but a chance to partner with participants as customers beyond one study.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the meeting, UBC presented an overview of how patient enrollment and retention is changing through \u201cVirtual Interactions: Effective Patient Recruitment Strategies in the Digital Era.\u201d Most clinical research recruitment these days has some online component and the industry continues to shift more and more resources into digital outreach. Some key areas to think about include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Balancing old media and online outreach to reach your target audience
\u2022 The regulatory and legal framework needed by sponsors when initiating online activity
\u2022 What social media tools are best for your study, and how to reach the audience you need
\u2022 How online interactions can support outreach in rare disease studies
\u2022 Understanding that when recruitment ends, online interactions can play a vital role in retention and patient engagement
\u2022 How post-trial communities like UBC\u2019s WeLink can engage study participants and build a community that supports future research<\/p>\n\n\n\n
