Patient Recruitment & Retention in Clinical Trials
The Clinical Research ESC from ARCS Australia ran a session on patient recruitment and retention in clinical trials - widely recognised as a leading bottleneck in the new drug development pipeline. Speakers including Clinitec's Katie Viviers explored opportunities to assist or improve patient recruitment/retention including:
- Considering site selection: Could regional sites or general practitioners be of assistance, and what do you need to consider when working with those sites?
- Supporting site staff: How to get happy, engaged site staff that remain enthusiastic about recruitment.
- Reaching out to patients: What are some ideas you might consider?
- Use of technology to attract and maintain patients in studies.

Clinitec Nano
As a result of customer demand, Clinitec Australia has developed
Clinitec Nano, an Interactive Voice Response System (IVRS) that provides convenient, real-time, secure access to a centralised study database to help manage the randomisation process in line with study protocols.
This new alternative system is a cost effective solution for University and Hospital sponsored clinical trials with public funding, and in particular, trials conducted in Australia with less than 50 sites.
Problems associated with limited funding, data availability, inaccuracies and wasteful paper based trials are overcome with Clinitec Nano.
All Clinitec IVRS and IWRS services are fully validated and supported systems which have the backing of a highly experienced development team, equipped to handle your most complex and basic requirements.
Clinitec Nano can be rapidly deployed and is a highly cost effective alternative to paper based clinical trial data collection.
If you would like to discuss the features and benefits of this new system for your clinical trials in the near future, please contact us.
