HCP Clinical Trial Support
Often, the burden of recruitment is placed upon investigators and research sites, which are selected on their ability to recruit the desired patient population. Frontline clinicians, whether from the research or primary care community, are frequently not being supported with the resources they need to engage effectively with patients before or during a trial.
One Research can identify and provide localised physician support to help free-up valuable resources. Whilst specialising in the fostering of relationships with patients outside of traditional clinical settings, we recognise too that a patient’s relationship with their physician can be pivotal in both their decision to take part and to stay in a study.
“Costly delays to your research, further down the pipeline, can be avoided”
One Research can identify and contact physicians interested in contributing to the recruitment of clinical trial participants.
One Research conducts campaigns, internationally if needed, to identify referring physicians for your research. These campaigns are two-stage: firstly, we will draw up a list of the most suitable physicians; secondly, we will speak directly to them to establish their level of interest in referring patients to the study.
This early-stage research also has the potential to unlock new sites in proximity to the patient populations you are looking for – particularly useful for rare diseases. Costly delays to your research, further down the pipeline, can be avoided. Similarly, engaging in dialogue with potential referring physicians early in the planning stage gives you the best chance of selecting those most likely to make a success of your recruitment.
“Helping a CRA to deliver results from a site can be a far more cost-effective solution than risking the site’s failure.”
Additional nursing support can be valuable in gathering clinical research data through follow-up visits to patients or sites.
One Research can recruit and manage registered general or specialist nurses to support your clinical study programme. For example, visits to patients may be needed if volunteers can’t attend the site. Or perhaps, as part of a lost to follow-up campaign, a nurse may be needed to visit patients to update medical details. One Research will coordinate this activity to free your team of the administrative burden.
Nursing staff can also be helpful in supporting sites with the set-up and delivery of a clinical study – panel mining and pre-screening, for example. Helping a CRA to deliver results from a site can be a far more cost-effective solution than risking the site’s failure. In all its service provision, One Research seeks to catalyse your existing investment.
