WITH ACURIAN WITHOUT ACURIAN GOAL
A top-five global pharmaceutical company requested help from Acurian when its two most challenging osteoarthritis protocols in a multiple-protocol program began to fall behind due to strict inclusion/exclusion criteria and a rigorous study visit schedule.The sponsor also requested performance-based pricing based on delivery of randomized patients, because the prior patient recruitment company had not delivered as promised. Only an aggressive, multi-tactic recruitment campaign in combination with site re-engagement would motivate fatigued sites and get enrollment back on track.
Using our extensive database of arthritis sufferers, centralized media, and a robust eRecruitment campaign leveraging online health networks, Acurian was able to producea steady flow of pre-qualified referrals for re-energized sites to process. In total, Acurian’s referred patients ultimately converted into 377 randomized patients or 30%of total enrollment across both protocols.
